Today, I went shopping at Morisson's Shepherd's Bush for our weekly groceries. Morisson's is the only supermarket that has beed awarded the Carbon Trust Award for reducing its carbon emission by 5000 tonnes per day. Morrisson's has put their best footprint forward. So says their poster banner.
In Malaysia, the palm oil industry since 2 decades ago, had changed the paradigm from a waste producer to a sector that has actually utilised the waste. With numerous biofuel projects based on oil palm/palm oil, our country has successfully labelled the Industry as a sustainable industry, despite accusations by other self-interested parties that we are destroying the environment by opening up forests to cultivate oil palm. I cannot say much about the carbon credit issues, but what I see is that the 3P's principle adopted by the Industry, People/Planet/Profits, is a good one, as long as a fine balance is kept amongst the 3Ps for the interests of the country that we love. Proud to be Malaysian -lah!
