Today went to attend a half day seminar at The Pacific Sutera, Sutera Harbour regarding the building energy efficiency. Now it's has become a trend in Malaysia to implement green concepts or building energy efficiency on all the new and old buildings. We are relatively slow in implementing comparing to others countries even to our neighbour country, Singapore due to different country policies imposed. There are many countries nowadays are enforcing the builders or any others professionals and specialists involve in building industry with law to practise the green construction.
However, the awareness of this amongst the citizens of Malaysia is respectively low. This can be seen by the usage of the 2 main utilities: water and electricity. For them, water bills are cheap and affordable by everyone so they can simply wasting the water which do not affecting much on their wallets same apply to the electricity.
But then, hopefully from the announcement made by the Energy Commission that the tariff of electricity will be increased up to 16% from 1st of January 2014, people will starts to aware in saving energy and thus save the world itself.
Human always love to learn from mistakes. They rather do correction than in prevention. In fact, prevention will shorten the way and the time. But, people never realises this. Until the mother earth is crying and showing hers power, human will just start on how to reduce the impact to the earth, energy savings and green etc.
By taking a small step by each person in the world, will resulting a big impact for the mother earth. Do appreciate people aware of the crisis we are having together with our mother earth and starts on implementing good habits, motivate and influence others to take the initiative move.
Love the earth, love the world, love to everyone and our next generation!
