The talk started with Earth Saving Diet by the funky Dr. Lim. He talks about how we can we help mother earth by having more vegetables (as in green leafy vegetables and not the fake meats that are made from flour) and cut down on meat. I was thinking how by eating vegetables can help save mother earth directly? Apparently, waste from poultry and garbage release a type of gas call methane, and this gas traps 21 times more heat compare to carbon dioxide and it directly contributes to global warming. Next was a talk by Mr. Yahqappu who is an organic farmer.
Mr. and Mrs Chan (banker and housewife), came purposely to learn how to make garbage enzymes. They are environmental conscious since a couple of years back. Mrs Chan had been making her own garbage enzymes and they are both here today to see if they are making garbage enzymes the correct way. And apparently, the method she is currently using is the Chinese way and the one that they have at the event is the Western way. I think no matter it’s a Chinese or western way, as long as it helps mother earth it’s a good way!
After going around, we went and surveyed what’s for lunch in the organic food kiosk. I had an organic mushroom burger while Sue-Anne had organic lotus rice. We were required to bring our own utensils and water bottle. Here’s what our food looked like. AND the spoon is made out of recycled paper material.
Well, I don’t think organic is really my type of food, but anyhow, we did not waste food and we finished everything for the love of mother earth!
After the break we went into the stadium again and there was a performance and followed by the talk on garbage enzymes by Dr. Joean Onn.
I see a lot of people who were very gung ho toward the quest to save the environment.
But not everyone can turn into a vegetarian overnight. Some are born with it, some wants to do it for their future generation and some might just wake up one day and want to pursue in a mission for saving the earth. For people like me, who was not born a vegan, who does not have the urge for the future generation YET and my mission for waking up in the morning is just to go to WORK, the least I can do is just to take baby steps like, not wasting food , trying to REDUCE plastic bags usage and recycling as much as I can and maybe even being a vegan once a week!
