Our latest issue (November 18) "Living with Toxicity in Greater China: Realities and Reactions", edited by Research Fellow Dr Loretta Lou, is now available. In this, the thirteenth edition of Toxic News, we feature four articles that discuss a variety of creative responses to the environmental problems caused by decades of unrestrained development in China and Taiwan. From villagers to water gatekeeper and from a filmmaker to musicians, we hope this issue showcases the diverse responses to toxic pollution and offers inspirations for future interventions.
