With recent global climate changes, frequent natural disasters, and serious environmental issues, the Yilan City Government and Soka Gakkai Taiwan jointly organized the Community Friendship and Culture Festival, themed “Cherish the Earth. Love Taiwan Truly,” aiming to inspire personal transformation. Starting from the community, people are encouraged to “cherish the Earth.” On the event day, April 17, in addition to dynamic performances and youth cultural creations, there will also be eco-friendly booths. The public is welcome to participate enthusiastically.

The “Cherish the Earth. Love Taiwan Truly” event will be grandly held starting at 13:00 at Lancheng Crescent Plaza. The event will feature the “Seeds of Hope” (Cherish the Earth. Love Taiwan Truly Hope Exhibition), planned by Soka Gakkai International (SGI) and the “Earth Charter International,” promoting the philosophy that “humans and the environment should complement each other.” It encourages starting with one’s own “human revolution” to bring about environmental change and create a better future. This exhibition has been displayed in 122 universities and colleges and 1,000 primary and secondary schools since last year, with the hope that youth will jointly promote the friendly movement of “Love Taiwan Truly.”
