Blog Action Day 2010 : Water

This is not my first time supporting this cause.

Blog Action Day is an annual event held every October 15 that unites the world’s bloggers in posting about the same issue on the same day with the aim of sparking a global discussion and driving collective action.Blog Action Day is to create a discussion. We ask bloggers to take a single day out of their schedule and focus it on an important issue.

Blogging is a platform that has the ability to create discussion for sure and i think the Blog Action Day is a great idea that we should all support.

The topic for this year is Water

Its a very important topic and i will be contributing a posting on my thoughts on Water for Blog Action Day on the 15th of October 2010. I hope more and more Malaysian blogs take part as well, its important that we support such causes.

Maybank : Love the Earth

Maybank is running a program to encourage its customers to go e-statement. Its a great campaign considering the number of customers which means the number of statements generated (mostly itemized) and the manpower used to generate, the carbon with delivery. Its a huge cut if successful to get a large chunk converted.

Everytime a customer opts to e-statement, M2U will donate RM1 to the following NGOs to run environmental conservation projects.

M2U is taking a big step to save the environment in conjunction with Love the Earth Campaign. So why don’t we start now? First step is to select viewing your statements online!

If you are a Maybank customer you can either do this online or call the customer hotline at 1-300-88 6688 to get this done. Well done Maybank and hopefully more and more banks and other service providers who are statement heavy do the same

A Species Worth Saving!

From Wiki

The Malayan tiger (Panthera tigris malayensis, Malay: Harimau Belang), found in the southern and central parts of the Malay Peninsula, is a subspecies of tiger found in Thailand  and Malaysia.

Recent counts showed there are 600-800 Malayan tigers in the wild, making it the most common tiger subspecies other than the Bengal and perhaps also the Indochinese tigers. It is, nevertheless, still an endangered sub-species.

Okay, thats as technical as this posting is going to be. This is purely my thoughts of the tigers in Malaysia and why i think we should get cracking to save this majestic species. [Read more...]
