20170525 Interview with HPAIR

Yesterday, the HPAIR committee informed me of an upcoming interview today, hence I started sifting information on their website and asked google how can I get myself ready for this. With time constraint, since I still need to work during the day, I had little time to prepare, but they made the call on time, I picked it up, our conversation thus began.


The guy from the other side of the phone is a undergraduate student from Harvard Univ. (I think), he quickly asked me to briefly introduce myself, why would I want to apply for HPAIR 2017 in Sydney. Simple question, simple answer. That was the first one.
Later on, he followed up with Asian countries are facing environmental injustice, along with disproportionate energy use, what phenomenon did you see and how would you tackle this problem?
You got me, this is too big of an issue. “if I claim that I have a solution or a technique that can solve this problem, call me bluffing.” But I am here to propose some simple solutions that can be applied to individuals. Start from myself, I have stopped using disposable tableware since last year before the military service. Last month, I saw an exciting news came from Taipei City Government that they are determined to refuse disposable tableware and plastic cups. Staffs are encouraged to bring their own steel chopsticks, ceramic bowls at the cafeteria. Two aspects, one is from a personal standpoint and the other is governmental.

The last question, he went on asking, name a person you would like HPAIR to invite to give a talk, once again, I had no idea whom I can recommend. So I started sharing my role model, TSMC, as a case in solving the environmental issue and more critically, how did they put such action plans into implementation, you can see their works in environment protection is well-recognized. They are truly the one who walks the talk. All of a suddenly, a person came to my mind: Morris Chang! He is definitely the one whom I would recommend, so please go on approaching to him.
He seemed quite satisfied with my answers. On the conference schedule page, some sections drew my attention, so I asked him about the HPAIRx and the activity called Impact Challenge, the whole interview was finished in 15 minutes, right on schedule!
