A year ago, Sampah-Menyampah was launched, with the aim of raising awareness among Malaysians about setting our consumption habits right, and also to empower each other to take back our shared responsibility in looking after our environment. One year on, we speak to Sampah-Menyampah's co-founder, Carolyn Lau and also to Sue Yee Khor, the co-founder of Zero Waste Malaysia, to find out how the group's been spreading their gospel of sustainability, and also to discuss the upcoming Sampah, Menyampah and Friends' Earth Weekend, an event aimed at helping us all learn about reducing our trash footprint.
