As Malaysia races against the alarming projection that our landfills may reach capacity by 2041, Zero Waste Malaysia is doubling down on efforts to build a culture of sustainability where it matters most: in our schools. Through the Green Wira Programme, now in its second cohort, over 300 educators have been equipped to lead meaningful, lasting zero-waste initiatives, impacting an estimated 150,000 students nationwide. With the upcoming week-long Green Wira Exhibition and Showcase, and fresh insights from their new stakeholder survey, the organisation hopes to spark even stronger community involvement in the zero-waste movement. Joining us to share more are Khor Sue Yee, Co-founder and Director, and Tasha Sabapathy, Senior Programme and Communications Officer, from Zero Waste Malaysia.

Earth Matters engages with activists and experts to explore our changing relationship with the planet that we only borrow from our children.
