At The Student Leader Convention, Universiti Malaya

An Indian student body from Universiti Malaya invited us to open an awareness booth at their Student Leader Convention today.

Bernice, Donovan and I were there today.

�We met with the student delegates during their half hour break time.

It appears that the idea of CNRM and even that of neutering animals as a means to control the stray animal population were all new to them. That was good – At least we’ve passed the message on to these student leaders and they will take the message back to their respective universities. A lot of books were taken, which is great.

There were many animal lovers amongst the delegates. There was even one who has a group of friends who rescue and rehome, but they don’t neuter because they did not know about its importance. Well, now, at least they do.

�The next-door booth was promoting disposable plates made from tapioca.

Yes, that’s a local environmentally friendly product, made from ubi kayu. These plates will biodegrade within 14 days after use. It is a green product to replace styrofoam and even paper plates for functions.

�The plates can also be eaten (yes, we all took a bite each!) and this green one is pandan-flavoured.

So, you can either eat up your plate after use (it tastes like wafer), or it biodegrades within 14 days and there is no contamination to the environment.
