Selamat Hari Merdeka Malaysia! Tanah tumpahnya darah ku...

THE commonplace polystyrene packaging is a double-edged sword. On one hand, its convenient, low-cost availability is a boon to food traders and time-pressed Malaysians who want to buy cheap and fast takeaway food. But the sheer volume we use and throw away daily creates a whole set of other problems. Read more about this here:

On June 6th 2015, thousands citizens around the world will take part in a transnational event: “World Wide Views on Climate and Energy”. It is a global citizen consultation, providing unique information about how far citizens around the world are willing to go, in order to deal with climate change and to bring forward an energy transition in the run up to the United Nations Conference on climate change in Paris in December 2015 (COP21).

On the same day, citizens selected to reflect the demographic diversity in their countries (at least 100 per country) will attend daylong meetings, starting at dawn in the Pacific, and continuing until dusk in the Americas. All citizens will receive information about pros, cons and views on different climate and energy policies, targets and measures (both in advance and on that day) and all meetings will follow the same agenda and guidelines in order to make the results comparable.

Citizens will express their views on an identical set of questions, designed to reflect policy controversies at the COP negotiations and political discussions about climate and energy in general. The results will be published in real-time via a web-tool, allowing for easy exploration and comparisons of results; one country with another, developed countries with developing, etc.

In Malaysia the “World Wide Views on Climate and Energy” is organized by the Malaysian Nature Society (MNS) and the Malaysian Environmental NGOs (MENGO). YOU CAN PLAY A ROLE by clicking on the link below and by registering for the dialogue.
