14th Dec 2020, by Roots & Shoots Malaysia
It’s World Monkey Day!
While the world readily awaits the vaccine for Covid-19, we have to remember that the vaccine is possible due to the many tests done on our primate cousins. Whilst many have suffered for the benefit of mankind, we can still show our gratitude by treating them better in the wild.
What can you do?
1) Do not feed them
Feeding monkeys humans food makes them vulnerable to many illnesses due to the high levels of oil, salt and sugar in our processed foods.
2) Dispose of yo...

11th Dec 2020, by Roots & Shoots Malaysia
It’s World Mountain Day!
Malaysia’s mountains not only provide us with drinking water but they are also home to many plants and animals - some that can only be found here and nowhere else in the world. Like the Malaysian Partridge and the Titiwangsa Horned Tree Lizard.
Sadly our mountains have been under stress due to excessive development and pollution.
What can you do?
Always throw away your rubbish in the right places when you hike or visit these mountains. Do not litter.

1st Nov 2020, by Roots & Shoots Malaysia
Today is #WorldVeganDay
Besides adding to your physical health and well-being, going vegan is also beneficial to our planet.
Animal agriculture impacts the world’s biodiversity by using wild land for soy and maize crops, the primary livestock feed.
The increasing use of land has led to a number of native species being threatened on a global level, including different species of monkeys, elephants, bears, tigers, alligators, lions, wolves, and parrots.
Choosing a vegan diet will go a long way...

24th Oct 2020, by Roots & Shoots Malaysia
Today is #WorldGibbonDay
Malaysia has 5 species of gibbons - all of which are classified as Endangered. They face an array of threats which include deforestation and unbridled urban expansion. But the one great threat they face is the wildlife pet trade. They are poached to be sold off as pets. Many do not survive till adulthood.
What can you do?
Report any sale of primates to the authorities. Primates are not pets.
Do not feed any gibbons or wild animals. This makes them dependant on humans...

It’s World Energy Efficiency Day!
Contrary to what many people think, boost energy efficiency does not mean compromising comfort and quality of life by decreasing the use of energy we use in our daily lives. Enhancing energy efficiency is based on optimising production processes and energy consumption, using renewable energy sources to the detriment of fossil fuels, promoting responsible consumption and recycling, among others.
What can you do?
There are many simple actions we can do all ye...

19th Sep 2020, by Roots & Shoots Malaysia
With the ongoing battle against Covid-19, we are finding more litter in our rivers and public spaces. This puts a tremendous strain on our already fragile eco-system with many disposables taking a long time to break down.
What can you do?
1) Use less. The more recyclable and reusable items we can utilise in our daily lives, the better it will be for our environment.
2) Dispose of your rubbish responsibly. Litter on the streets makes its way into the drains and the rivers, causing sever pollu...
