Taipei, Feb. 19 (CNA) With demands for cleaner air, environmental protection activists held two protest marches in Taichung and Kaohsiung simultaneously Sunday, drawing local officials, ruling and opposition lawmakers, and former Academia Sinica President Lee Yuan-tseh (李遠哲).

Lee joined the “anti-air pollution, global warming” march in the central municipality of Taichung to show his support for the appeal. He expressed hope that Taiwan will become an Asian model in the battle against global warming and air pollution.
