What is your purpose to take up Project Orion?
Hmm... it was my idea?? Hehe...
What inspires you?
You can't protect things that you don't know and if we don't start now, will we ever? For we will keep finding excuses to put it off till another day.
There is only one species that can save the world, and that is Homo sapiens - us.
What are your aims for Project Orion?
To generate the next batch of ambassadors for Nature/Environment, to produce the future leaders to take on such global issues.
Are you an environmentalist? If yes, what have you done and what have you learnt from your experience?
Sort of, more of a generalist as I would call it. Volunteered on weekends in the Singapore Zoo for 3 years, nature guide for some intertidal shores, actively promoting nature and environment conservation in the Scouting Community.
I've learnt that there are always hits and misses, but if just that few hits could motivate a few more to continue and contribute to the field - it's Bull's Eye and worthwhile for all the efforts.
