Testimonials
The one thing I enjoyed most is the DIY Kits. Putting knowledge to practice via DIY is really a good feeling.
I have also started to re-grow from leftover kitchen vegetables by propagating them in water. Green fingers I am not, but I’m hopeful.
I think more awareness is necessary as Malaysians are still far behind in terms of veganism and plant based lifestyle.
– Ezreen Malek
The workshops stir curiosity and interest in areas not common & forgotten in suburban communities.
Now my wife & I have 4×8 pots hydroponic system at home, waiting to harvest our first batch in 2-3 weeks time.
We had our composting bin a year ago, but it wasn’t very successful. Now we look forward to redoing the compost using the kit from the session!
– Frederick Low
The fact that we are able to turn waste into something more useful shows a great potential in the future advancement in zero waste.
Now I am more aware when I’m ordering food, remember not to request plastic cutleries and am reorganizing spaces to fit in a compost bag in my apartment.
