By Sherry Hsiao / Staff reporterEnvironmental groups joined forces and braved the rain in Taipei yesterday to march against air pollution and call for measures against it. Several political parties were also represented at the march, including the New Power Party, the New Party and the Taiwan People’s Party. They shouted slogans such as “The greater south wants health, “Breathing needs equal rights,” and “Coal-free Taiwan, sustainable health” as they marched. They also held signs that read, “Nuclear-free, coal-free homeland,” and “Legalized harm, state violence,” among other messages. For the march, ACT listed four major demands, including the hosting of a “climate conference” and the abolition of the “centralization of energy.”
