If roads can talk...

If roads can talk, I would expect them to hope that they could one day be like Cermak Road in Chicago. Why? See for yourself.  
Wake up! Road can't talk but we can. Let 's talk about seeing green streets in our country.

This presentation will give you an idea of what we can talk about.

Going Green Begins By Thinking Blue: Rainwater Strategies for Cermak Road from Center for Neighborhood Technology

Talk about re-using...

Talk about re-using to the extreme.

A glimpse of jugaad technology from Yashaswita Bhoir

I hope the ideas here will inspire Malaysians to do one better.

A match made in Heaven?

I wrote about cardboard bicycle before.  Wouldn't it be nice to match it with a cardboard helmet?  Before you start laughing at my silly thinking, check out what Anirudha Surabhi has been up to.

The roofs are alive!

I believe that just a little sunshine, water and love will keep roofs of many high rise buildings in Malaysia alive with greens.

I hope this presentation shared by Kristin L. Getter and D. Bradley Rowe from the Michigan State University could help steer Malaysians into considering working towards gardening on their roof tops.

Farming? Progressing vertically.

What can one grow commercially on a highly developed island covering an area of 704 sq km?  Looking upwards, lack of space for agricultural in Singapore, is no longer an issue.

Thrown your cardboard? What a shame!

Guess what Izhar Gafni, an engineer, can create with cardboard? Given up?

It's a cardboard bicycle that he can ride on. And mind you, Mr Izhar is not as petite as you may have guessed him to be.  And no, that cardboard bike did not disintegrate on contact with water.

Don't believe me?  Take a look for yourself.


This should put those who could not be bothered with recycling or reusing cardboard boxes to shame.  Don't you agree?
