Bottom-up organizing against Eighth Naphtha Cracker

“The anti-Kuokuang campaign resists top-down regulatory controls and solutions by working at the grassroots level to draw public attention to issues. For example, the campaign invites pop singers and local lyric writers to reach out to different ethnic groups and generations. Taiwanese singer Bobby Chen wrote the song “My Grandmother is a Matsu Fish” (Chang, Tie-zhi) to raise awareness about the impact of the petrochemical plants on the endangered dolphins. It refers to Matsu, the sea goddess widely worshipped by people in Taiwan and southeastern China as the protector of fishermen and sailors, as well as to the Chinese white dolphin (CWD), an animal species that also is known as a friend of shipwrecked sailors.” (Chang, 2023, p. 177)
