I thought it went very well.I was worried that the attendance would be so poor. I mean Dato Seri Salleh Mohd. Nor is so big -- we can't have only 3-4 people benefitting from his talk.
I don't know what the team did but the crowd was better than before.We got over 50 participants from different countries and some First Years were there as well (I love them! Comel sangat).So syukur.The talk and awareness campaign will go a longggggggggg way.Sampai ke Nigeria, Egypt, even Russia (satu sudah masuk perangkap.He said there are 15 others.Hokayyy...next time kita tangkap budak ni je to lure the rest.Hahaha).
What we found from Dato Seri's talk were these (am being selective):
1.environment can be a lucrative career which could bring in millions of ringgit/dollar/whatever currency you believe in.He said some people are willing to pay thousands just to have a glimpse of some rare bird, rare turtle etc.
2.some trees can grow faster so if you beli tanah banyak2, you tanam pokok2 jati or teak ke...lepas tu jual..you boleh kaya (say in a period of 5-20 years..depending on type of trees). I never thought!
3. the smart tunnel was Tun Mahathir's idea.It has 3 levels.Kalau banjir, jadi satu (to avoid massive flood in the city)
4.Denmark and other Scandinavian countries are leading in 'clean energy' (by that he meant wind energy, solar energy etc) No Muslim country has done anything about promoting 'clean energy'.
5. We can start to be environment friendly by doing little2 things at home like conserving water (e.g masa brush our teeth, guna a glass of water ...jgn biarkan air paip mencurah2 while you brush). Or make your own fertiliser by doing your own compost. Believe in and practise the 3Rs: Reduce, reuse, recycle.
The kids who came are planning for another environment friendly project (for World Environment Day early June). I like their enthusiasm.
I hope it's infectious! Watch this space for their news.

Kim of Portland said in her state, residents need special approval before they can remove any trees more than 5 inches in diameter.Even in their own yard!
