我看國光石化    孫德珍4/25/2011


進入二十一世紀,我們很清楚地看到地球的許多天災人禍,警告我們地球暖化,能源危機,以及環境汙染的問題。經濟學家甘特鮑利針對這些問題提出了解決之道:藍色經濟。藍色經濟強調無汙染、無廢棄物,相較於代價高昂的綠色經濟,對環境有更高的親和力,也提供更多的就業機會。


藍色經濟的概念發現生物圈是一個相輔相成的循環,一個界中的廢棄物就是另一個界的養分,強調解決地球的問題最快的方式是透過教育,教導孩子從小觀察大自然創造的原則,創新變化,開發更豐盛的資源,創造更好的社會。這種因仿效生態的藍色經濟在世界各地開創許多商機,包含醫療、建築、農業、製造業、交通、生物科技等行業,而最終的目的是對地球的永續經營,給後代留下生機。


甘特已經推動藍色經濟十年,並在許多國家結出令人讚嘆的結果。台灣在響應環保的聖戰中,有許多人已經默默投入,日本地震海嘯及核能災難近在咫尺,全民已經開始擔心,政府卻尚未見到任何警覺,在每一個大議題上都是被動地反應,令人憂心。


20114月,報載:今後10年,青島將大力推動藍色經濟的建設。青島市發改委副主任、青島市藍色經濟區建設辦公室主任任振剛表示,在前5年的規畫中,大約有300個專案要上馬,需要6000億元(人民幣,下同)的投資,「台商在青島會有大量的投資機會。」http://big5.xinhuanet.com/gate/big5/www.sd.xinhuanet.com/qd/2011-04/23/content_22597964.htm


同一天,馬英九總統對「國光石化」喊停,引起了朝野不同聲浪,相信總統經過極大掙扎才做出此決定,因此也該早預料到決策將引起另一批人反彈。這個決定絕不該是為了選票,而是一個重大的決心:讓台灣全民靜下來思考,我們該要有所改變,危機就是轉機。


而這個重大改變,不能只是以條件交換做一時安撫,而是高瞻遠矚地尋求永續經營。地球只有一個,讓我們讀讀藍色經濟,鄭重地解決地球問題,創造更多工作機會,提高國民的快樂指數,給孩子一個未來。

科普寓言          孫德珍1/18/2011


上週末參加由教育部主辦的「甘特寓言故事核心教師工作坊」,來自全國各地的30多位教授、70多位中小學教師、閱讀團體及荒野夥伴們,在三天的工作坊中展現相當的熱忱,這是以往在台灣的研習少見的。這次盛會邀請到甘特寓言故事的作者─Dr. Gunter Pauli 親自來台授課,他有著幽默的談吐,獨到的見解,更有著對教育的睿智,風靡全場。Pauli博士是「藍色經濟」的作者,也是ZERI零排放研究創新基金會創辦人、十多年來投身生態永續事業,在聯合國的支援下,發展了一百個無廢棄、零污染、低成本,大商機的模式、創造上億個工作機會。他透過自然觀察,學習自然界的法則,得到許多靈感,創造了許多有名的作品。例如:仿效白蟻窩的構造,建築不需空調的大樓、以回收玻璃瓶當建材、模仿斑馬黑白條紋使建築自然形成通風、以咖啡渣培植菇類減少橡木砍伐


Gunter為青少年寫了一系列甘特寓言,已有36本,在世界各國賣出1700萬套,此次在台中文翻譯將由信誼基金會及遠哲科學教育基金會出版。甘特所寫的故事,是科普寓言,以大自然的物種為主角,對於環境、生態有生動的描述,作者並希望透過故事中的角色對話,引發情緒智商,透過閱讀引導,喚醒孩子對於科學的熱忱。


這一梯次是英文授課,雅歌除我以外,還有五位被培訓:秀雯、彥塵、振寧、恐龍、琥珀,我們都結交很多教育界有心的夥伴,並相約之後要努力推廣這套教材。雅歌下學期的課程主題是:生命的改變VS環境的改變,十多年來以兒童歌劇「小池王國」為劇本,幾年前有封箱的念頭,曾經想要換新劇本。經過三天的工作坊,深入了解教材內容,雅歌的老師們常會會心一笑,這不就是雅歌上課的方式?老師一邊講故事,一邊讓孩子把劇情演出來。Gunter要大家學習看到關連,雅歌用一整年在教關連,Gunter談情緒智能,這不就是雅歌的品格教育?而我們的孩子不只是學習情緒管理、挫折包容,還認識自己、看到榜樣。主持這個計畫的曾憲政校長專程來看過雅歌,對雅歌的課程非常感動,數次告訴Gunter雅歌老早在做他要的課程。


Gunter提到一個人要成功必需有mentor(師傅)導引,雅歌的老師們很幸運能夠追隨大師,親聆教誨;這套書是多元智能、雙語進行的課程,雅歌的孩子很幸福,將會是台灣第一批接觸這套教材的人。我告訴Gunter,雅歌的教育理念與他想推動的方式完全符合,只是我們還沒有進入科普的領域,今年正好我在研究課教科學,收穫甚多,何況恐龍老師、琥珀老師加入協同教學,我對下學期的課程很有信心。
