I straight away decided to go this summit because of the LCCF Assessment because I would like to know more about what have UM done in reducing the carbon footprint, since my final year project was about all residential colleague electricity carbon footprint of UM.
However reminder to all that I am regretted if my article offence anyone but I just share my thought and point of view.
At first I was amazed with the zero waste project as the project progress presented and we can see how it grow with all the programs such as the green bag scheme and overcome all the challenges especially when the value of the compost is just RM0.3 per KG! The idea having own farm just brilliant and smart solution. By the way I have a suggestion about composting of food waste although I didn’t visit the composting plant and understand the way of composting. Since doing composting, why not also composting on plants residue as well because besides of selling the compost fertilizer to farmer, still can sell to building maintenance as they need fertilizer to maintain landscape and especially Green Mark certified building due to mostly they required horticulture compost waste to score for the certification, although Green Mark certified in Malaysia mostly in Klang area and not many yet, but in Singapore is compulsory for all new buildings to have the green certification at least certified rating. However, you may need a certification to prove your compost. You may refer to the link for example:

The second presentation about the biodiversity just widen my horizon about eco-tourism in Malaysia, and provide me a new tourist spot to travel at Johor beside of Kukup,haha..Hopefully those young tour guides will protect precious bio diversity at the kampong, really appreciate the natural beauty. By the way does the kampong near to the petroleum refining plant in Johor? Perhaps no I think because still can see the beautiful see horses and others and hopefully in future these area will be well protected.
