It was a fun filled event! Because the Green is in! Ms. Dina invited the Greenman to hold a talk especially for us bloggers. Yes, dear it is now the time for a green evolution to help rehabilitate Mother Earth.
Diana Stalder pampers like no other. Its product line continuously evolved through the years that I was not surprised anymore when they got the Green Man's services to teach its staff ways to save money on its day to day operation and to upcycle, yes, not just recycle. Many materials that we often discard and dispose of can be upcycle or recycle. Find ways to add value and use for the available material on hand. GreenMan showed us a pencil case made from a milk carton. He just sew on a zipper and voila, a pencil case is now available for your disposal!
The Green Man, Mr. Matthias Gelber is a German national who migrated to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia to do his passion in life! That is to educate people about climate change and made as many people as possible to realize that we all need to do something in order to save mother earth. He encourages everyone to upcycle not only recycle.
Little as it may seem, all of these little contribution are little steps that will have an impact in the long run.
Just look at this MK ( opps not Michael Korrs but Made of Keyboard bag that DS staff made for her! It is beautiful!
We should be aware that each one of us are contributor to this so called climate change. The heat temperature nowadays is much stronger now with global warming slowly cooking us alive.
It is sad to note that there are many cases of heat stroke nowadays that sometimes resulted to death. If you love your children and your children's children, please pave the way to a better earth by doing your share.
TheGreenMan's message is clear. We, earthlings must learn to love our planet as much as we love our family because we only have one planet to live in. There is no planet B So we need to start now, right here, right now to save our planet. ( Unless, you have an Extra Terrestrial (ET) friend who would adopt you to his planet, ha ha ha!)
I was the first recipient of the GreenMan's book (made from 100% recycled paper and vegetable ink ) during the activity when I answered 1000 watts as the equivalent consumption of 1 hp in wattage. Thank you Greenman and Ms. Dina for this book!
The GreenMan said that every second that we waste electricity like leaving the lights on when nobody is using it, leaving our cellphone batteries that they overcharge, by not unplugging electrical appliances like television, laptops, refrigerators, air-con, etc. Please be aware that we do not just make our bills soar to its limit but we consume more energy that the climate in this world suffers. #ResponsibleConsumption
You could help by simply using timers, using appliances with inverter technology, using organic garments, upcycling your used tarpaulin and keyboard into bags and the like.
The small efforts to reuse and recycle will eventually stop the production of more non-biodegradable materials which destroys mother nature.
One classic example is the story that the GreenMan shared that because of the high demand from groups that promotes green living, the cost of organic clothing had gone down in Malaysia. And he is positive that is possible also here in our country.
There is a big difference in the summer temperature we had growing up from the summer heat we are experiencing now. The change in our weather temperature, stronger typhoons, drought, the hole in our ozone layer that keeps on getting bigger, all of these are the end result of each one of us throwing trash from baby diapers, sanitary napkins, candy wrappers, plastics, trees are being cut down everyday to provide us with pencils & papers, destroying limestone to provide us with cement, mining all earth treasures, exhausting mother earth. All in the name of industrialization. Please remember this is the only planet we have, there is no planet B. Let yourself be the biggest change! Be a healer. Start upcycling #Recycle #SaveMotherEarth #ClimateChange #GreenFootprintsMovement #GreenMan
I am not perfect but I can try. How about you? Are you up to the challenge? Please share the valuable lessons that the greenman shared with us so we can help save the only planet that we have. Not only for out children but also for our children's children.

My eco-friendly contribution is when I started using a menstrual cup. It's eco-friendly because you will only wash it and be able to use it again instead of buying and disposing napkins or tampons over and over again. :)
