第一階段田野調查暫告一個段落,透過走這一回,才真正對於水議題有足夠的認識,也會盡所能來將這些資訊傳遞給大家。

這次最大的收穫應該算是稍稍打破了我們對於水污染問題的一些刻板印象,在前期研究時看到了很多聳動的標題 (不得不說有時候透過這樣方式能讓更多人願意關注議題) ,而這些標題/標籤也連帶影響了過去我們看待議題的方式。在深度探訪及一些訪問後,發現到我們不應以既有的標籤一概否定各界對於改善環境所付出的努力,關於環境污染有太多的面向需要衡量。

過往每個環節的人們都朝著自己所相信的良善而努力,有人盼望著肥沃土地與豐收的碩果,有人盼望著帶動經濟起飛也奠定台灣在世界經貿鏈中的發展地位,當然其中有人需要譴責,但也有更多人需要鼓勵。對於追求事物的不同往往造成人們站在對立面去思考問題,而無法在其中取得共識。而我們除了做為鍵盤後的第三人隔著屏幕觀看,又該如何有意識的介入,這點值得大家一起來討論。
The first phase of the field trip has come to an end. For us , it is important to walk through these by our feet. Only by doing so, we could gain enough knowledge about the water issue, and to communicate to others.

The biggest gain was that we broke the stereotypes about water pollution. Those terrifying headlines we saw on the news were mostly for dragging attention.

Those headlines became labels that affected the way we viewed issues in the past. After in-depth visits and some interviews, it was discovered that there were many stories under the labels. Not only different voices from different groups, but also the efforts made to improve the environment. We should discuss the environment in different aspects.

People all work hard towards what they believe in as different roles. Some work for a good harvest. Some are seeking highest efficiency to boost the economy. Of course, some of them need to be condemned, but there are also people who need encouragement.

People usually stand on opposite sides and blame each other when they are pursuing different things. How could we take a step in it and not just be the person behind the screen? We hope this project could start a conversation on that.
