Greening local communities

All over Malaysia, green grassroots projects are springing up. And they’re sometimes just a click away. The Negawatt Revolution, a Malaysian website, helps you reduce your energy and carbon emissions via a digital tracking system. And on a community-based level, ToniBung or Friends of Village Development, works with Orang Asli villages using sustainable means. We talk to them about how they hook remote villages up with electricity, and ask Negawatt just how you can reduce your footprint.
