What can you do?

The best thing you can do to help the environment is to change your own habits. Look at the pages above and use the calculators above to see what areas of your life you can make a change in.

How do you get to school? What do you do with your organic rubbish? How much energy do you use? How long do you spend in the shower? Or do you take a bath? These are all questions you could be asking yourself?

Have you ever thought about the food you buy? Food that is grown locally has used less energy to get to you, so try and buy locally if you can.

If you are thinking of working together with some environmental organizations and efforts, here are some websites of local Malaysian environmental NGOs (non-government organistions) which you can explore and perhaps learn a thing or two on reducing your impact on the environment through their programmes.

• EcoKnights - Crusading for the Environment
• World Wide Fund for Nature Malaysia (WWF Malaysia)
• CETDEM
• Malaysian Nature Society
• Consumers Association Penang (CAP)
• Global Environment Centre
