生物可分解塑膠只是生質塑膠家族三大成員的其中之一，生物可分解塑膠偏向取代一次性、拋棄性的塑膠製品。今天我們就來破除三個我們對生質塑膠的刻板印象，以及要如何從諸多「宣稱環保」的商品中，避開地雷、挑出真真正正的好東西。
【Green Mentor's Fireside Chat】On June 22, 2018, the Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA) announced the results of its offshore wind power (OWP) competitive auction. Two companies were awarded the development rights for four offshore wind farms (OWFs), with a total capacity of 1,664 megawatts (MW). The projects are to be completed by 2025
【Green Mentor's Fireside Chat】還記得前陣子世足賽時，許多國家的足球員穿的球衣幾乎都是台灣利用回收塑膠生產的新聞嗎？臺灣「廢塑膠回收加工的技術」早已舉世聞名，技術超群，今天就從技術的角度出發，了解在全球瘋塑膠循環經濟的熱潮中，臺灣還有哪些可能的贏面！ 從整天窩在實驗室和工廠的工程師觀點，作為這個系列的第一篇技術文，當面對塑膠循環經濟，目前人類的科技不完美，無法處理所有的問題，不過工程師的思維不是等到所有的問題被解決才上路，而是透過邊做邊研發的方式，一步一步找出答案，不斷地在解決問題。
【Green Mentor's Fireside Chat】Any innovative solutions begin with breakthroughs against the inertia of thinking within ourselves. Only by learning the process of making complex decisions in the real world can we truly enter the core thinking of circular economy. And only through this can we implement the ideal step-by-step in real-world commercial scenarios. Perhaps the ultimate form of sustainable development can provide a better definition of morality.
【Green Mentor's Fireside Chat】接下來的幾個禮拜，從生質塑膠產業的全球觀點出發，首先破除過時的觀點，接著從科技、政策、市場等不同角度切入，為你建構系統性的循環經濟知識框架，助攻在綠色產業裡尋找機會的個人、企業、及政策制定者。
【Green Mentor's Fireside Chat】Understanding the system is not an easy thing. At least at this point you are done reading this article and should be aware of employing engineering logic to better understand the mantra of the circular economy industry.
【Green Mentor's Fireside Chat】In 2018 this year, on the second day after the close of the Shanghai International Photovoltaic Power Generation and Smart Energy Conference and Exhibition, China’s National Development and Reform Commission, Ministry of Finance, and National Energy Administration jointly issued the Notice Regarding Matters Related to 2018 Photovoltaic Power Generation.
【Green Quick Fix】如果食農新創公司沒有技術、通路或業務壁壘，而政府用老百姓的納稅錢補助，或是企業提撥經費來支持這類的創業者，長遠來看我們在獎勵什麼樣的價值觀？而對於真正有心、企圖想發展中國大陸市場，卻礙於資源的微型食農新創公司，我們有可能給予什麼樣的支持？
【Green Mentor's Fireside Chat】這幾天張忠謀在一場研討會中表示對於人工智慧（AI）的發展，他相當擔憂會造成低薪問題，而稍早之前，比爾．蓋茲卻說人工智慧（AI）的發展對社會永續發展有利，這兩個人說法南轅北轍，我們到底應該聽誰的？
【Green Mentor's Fireside Chat】We have been publishing a series of articles since last year (2017) predicting the direction of development of Taiwan’s offshore wind power (OWP) industry. Guess what? We were correct, as shown by the developments six months later. The controversy regarding localization began surfacing during the selection process. Recently, due to the crazy-low price, the controversy has officially become a dilemma.

【Green Mentor's Fireside Chat】這週我們談談國內綠色影響力投資的發展與現況。有別於過去傳統基金會慣用捐贈方式來資助社會使命組織，近二十年來國際公益與影響力投資（VP/II）逐漸興起，主張更積極參與、長期陪伴、財務與非財務資源並用以及影響力衡量與管理。台灣的影響力投資尚在初始學步階段，可進步空間仍大，現行財會標準也需要各界跨域整合，讓無形的社會效益逐步和會計標準系統接軌。如果整體社會的價值衡量系統更趨完善，資源網絡也會發揮足夠挹注力量，讓社會創新更蓬勃發展，而長久存在的社會問題也就更有機會邁向持續改善之路。
