#ssd2017

A job well done to everyone! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼Alhamdulillah, tahniah diucapkan kpd Kluster Penyelidikan Sustainability Science (SuSci) & warga Kluster Penyelidikan UM atas penganjuran Symposium on #sustainabledevelopment 2017 #ssd2017 Teringat pesanan dlm ucaptama YBhg Tan Sri Prof Dzulkifli (USIM): "...sustainable development won't work if we don't practice sustainability at individual level...it will be pointless if you have 3 mercedes cars at home and you claimed yourself to practice sustainability while 3 million others hardly even have access to below 1 US Dollar daily..." Terjemahan pesanan dlm Bahasa Melayu: "...pembangunan lestari tidak akan berjaya sekiranya amalan kelestarian tidak dijalankan pada peringkat individu itu sendiri...tiada gunanya jika kita ada 3 buah kereta Mercedes di rumah dan kita gelar diri kita amalkan kelestarian walhal 3 juta manusia lain tidak mampu untuk dapatkan 1 US Dollar sehari..."

[LIVE UPDATE] Symposium on #SustainableDevelopment 2017 #ssd2017 20 April 2017 (Thursday) Evening session: [Jupiter Meeting Room]: UM Living Labs - multi disciplinary Researchers involved: Faculty of Medicines, Faculty of Science, UMCares, APIUM, Faculty of Engineering Some interesting points shared: 1. Homes for active aging: design of the house would suit for the growing aging population in Malaysia and enhance their daily activities to keep healthy lifestyle 2. We could raise awareness on cancer and health through Cancer Farming Activities 3. UM received the status of Regional Center of Expertise (RCE) for Central Semenanjung at Bukit Fraser. Activities: awareness on climate change, Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) 4. Imarah Green Project' - Surau APIUM is now in progress towards becoming Eco Surau for UM: instilling awareness and practices on greening initiative for APIUM and surau users: cleanliness, imarah project, arts, plantation, green wall, vertical gardening, rainwater harvesting, green khutbah, energy saving appliances, green volunteerism, solar panel, eco cooling system (aircond hanya dibuka pada waktu solat Jumaat sahaja) 5. Zero Waste Campaign: Malaysia produces waste in 5 days in a sum of KLCC towers: we are a wasteful society (Malaysia among the largest producer of waste in the world especially food waste). Remember, what we throw away could eventually haunt us back in a form of pollution and toxic. Most important things, separate waste at source. Up to now: 550 ton converted (RM97,757 profit). You can bring your recyclable items to the Intelligent Recycle Center at PASUM (near Dewan Kuliah, next to Rumah Universiti) to collect points that can be redeemed to buy items, foods at select cafetaria in campus: APIUM & 6th Residential College cafeteria. 5Rs: refuse, rethink, reduce, reuse, recycle. For Muslim ladies, do not conform to the fashion and style of your tudung and be wasteful by having 10 tudungs instead of you actually can have 1 which is enough. #zerowaste #ecosurau (at Kompleks Pengurusan Penyelidikan Dan Inovasi Universiti Malaya)

[LIVE UPDATE] Symposium on #SustainableDevelopment 2017 #ssd2017 Afternoon session: [Jupiter Meeting Room]: UM Living Labs -#SustainableWasteManagement Researchers involved: Faculty of Medicines & PPUM, Faculty of Science, Faculty of Business and Accountancy, Faculty of Economics and Administration, Faculty of Engineering Some interesting points shared: 1. Waste can be a source of income generations for the campus, as we generate large amount of waste especially #foodwaste daily BUT we still lacking on waste separation. We throw everything together (Sisa / Sampah dijadikan sumber penjanaan dana di kampus, terutamanya sisa makanan tapi tahap pengasingan sisa masih rendah) 2. We used to throw away unused / leftover medicines that we have been prescribed by doctors which could save a lot if they are return back to Pusat Perubatan UM (PPUM) (pembuangan ubat tidak terpakai amat merugikan dan berbahaya kpd alam sekitar, boleh dipulangkan semula ke PPUM) 3. Food waste: most of us, almost 60% (staff and students) unwilling to put their used plates and drink container back to the provided bins; they said what they paid to the canteen/cafe inclusive of food and services (hampir 60% enggan meletakkan semula pinggan dan gelas minuman yg telah digunakan ke dalam tempat yg disediakan) 4. Only 40% mostly students willing to put their used plates and drink container to the provided container 5. Aquaponic: combination of hydroponic and aquaculture (having fishes and vegetables in one system) could be a way to go for urban farming. Turning waste to nutrients 6. Please use food container for 'tapau' as you can decrease the use of plastic bags, papers which would end up as waste (biasakanlah menggunakan bekas makanan sendiri utk tapau makanan utk kurangkn penggunaan plastik dan kertas) 7. Construction waste (non-degradable) for sustainable drainage construction (Sisa pembinaan di UM boleh diguna semula utk pembinaan sistem perparitan dan saliran yg lebih lestari) 8. Recommendation: Adopting 4th Residential College Cafe as Iconic Zero Food Waste Zone (at Kompleks Pengurusan Penyelidikan Dan Inovasi Universiti Malaya)
