What is your purpose to take up Project Orion?

I hope to get new exposure to different sets of surrounding and work with people from different units and personalities. Project Orion is a conservation project of which people do not realise of how bad the shape of GAIA is currently. When I compare it to GAIA 10 years ago, I believe I see 2 different sides of the picture.


What inspires you?

Al Gore inspires me. Being the failed president of United States of America, he became a popular figure in conservation.


What are your aims for Project Orion?

My aims for this project are to help people realise (small scale) of how far by conserving will help us in near future. It will be a chain reaction after we did our part, and the villages then the bigger scale of community and who knows it might be the whole nation sooner.


What do you think about the environment currently?

I think the environment is already in a bad shape. We are feeling the heat of climate changes. The polar region is melting without us knowing.
