There's a saying in Chinese go like this; 'if man were made of soil, women is made of water'. While there's is literally no scientific proof to justify the saying but water does indeed somehow affect the genetic code of human notwithstanding that we all were once female (during the first few weeks-60days- embryo follows a "female blueprint" until testosterone kick in where another Y chromosome pair with X, instead of XX for female-changing genitals& brain) in mother's womb, that's why man also have mammary papillae or known as nipples.

Refrigerant, The Ozone Killer!
From Human comfort to keep our food fresh (or look fresh) but little do we know that it's the same substance that seems prolong our food& provide comfort at the same time silently rage war up above the ozone against our every survival and those others earth co-habitants. So force majeure really an act of god?

Green Transport
I’m happy to see Green Vehicle priority in GBI although I don’t drive. Transportation is no doubt one of the hardest sector in curbing CO2 but its 2nd biggest CO2 contributor!

Human ∞ Apes, in Sustainability
Sahelanthropus tchadensis
|
Back to 4-6million years ago, Human (homosapiens), Chimpanzee (pan troglodytes) and Bonobo (pan paniscus) sharing an immediate
ancestral (Sahelanthropus tchadensis).
Chimps shows aggressive in defending territorial and would kill, even their own
kinds, for the continuity of their genes, prevalent in dominant alpha male.
Whereas Bonobo shows behavior of love-making, kindness, sharing and even
trans-territorial breeding.

KLORR!! The Life Eating Dragon
Said .....
On 10th September 2013, Malaysia Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Najib, called on world leaders to inculcate a new respect for the environment, saying the people and the future generations depend on it.
“Until we understand instinctively that sacrificing such resources for short-term benefit undermines our long-term aims, we cannot hope to achieve truly sustainable development。This same principle applies in regional and global policies, too.”

The Dinosaurs in Building Sector
Building sector account for 38% of human GHG emission (10% residential& 18% commercial), an ever increasing trend since the introduction of cement based building materials apart from electric appliances& gadgets that has become part of daily life necessity. On average a regular building attribute 5,000kg CO2e/m2 through its lifecycle of which 25% come from its construction while up to 2% of it during its course of operation per year. We can’t twist the facts that the demand for building is in tandem with the ever growing human population which translate to increment of GHG emission, thus questions on effects of climate change and sustainability natural resources ensued. United Nation (UN) projected that world population would reached its peak, at 9.22billions, in 2075, an additional of 2.1 billion souls from now. The right for quality shelter is basic to humanity which by then foreseeable as a matter of past but to reached there a mechanism to achieve the equilibrium between human and the surrounding environment is critical now. The sector is most promising in CO2 emission reduction in related to cost effectiveness, as suggested by Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).
