  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Action Track: Building Resilience Support A Sharing Economy
    What are the benefits of a sharing economy? How could a sharing economy change the dynamics you have with friends, family and/or neighbors?

    It gives flexibility, economic benefits to both the users and providers, building community trust etc. For e.g. we can just open the app, check what mean of transportation is closest to me, reserve it, find it and GO! Sharing economy such as sharing a taxi has obvious benefit of helping us to save money.  Most importantly, I think it helps us to build community trust as it requires the trust and collaboration for us to share the economy.

  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Oceans Support Organic Growing Methods
    It is often said that “you can’t feed the world with just organic food.” What is your response to that statement?

    Personally, I believe organic food can feed the world.  With proper management, organic farming could produce wide array of foods and contribute to global food security agriculture without significantly affecting yields. Organic farming is widely considered to be a far more sustainable alternative for food production. The lack of pesticides and wider variety of plants enhances biodiversity and giving better soil quality, less damage to climate etc.

    I use reusable bags for my grocery shopping. I ensure this is sustainable by always having the reusable bags in my car. Also, I keep my reusable bags next to my shoes cabinet that if I walk to the store or take public transport to the store, I will never forget to bring them along.

    This week, I was invited by corporate communication team to share my thoughts on Earth Day event. This includes my contributions, challenges and how I sustain my practice to save the environment for long term. The article is featured in my region's The Point and in our social media platform form. Glad to be able to share this with others and hopefully together we can encourage more people to save the planet!
