We took the initiation in fixing junked-bikes as environmental action and recruited the volunteers. We carried out the activities to improve the reuse of junked-bikes and hence developed the practicing mode of environmental education program. First we took the knowledge of the environmental issue behind the stuff with the activities of DIO(Do It Ourselves).Secondly, we fostered the emotion to the stuff on everyday life so we won’t abandon stuff easily. Finally, we encouraged people practicing fixing skill so we could fight the over-consumption. We firmly believe DIO is the action competence of the environmental education with the familiar junked-stuff. Besides, it is suggested that we should build up the volunteers group with more knowledge and activities about bicycles, not only the environmental issue.
