The Going Green is still Going on!


is still going on and still going strong
in PENANG Island!
Though we are experiencing some kind of higher heat, we are still having substantial amount of rain, while the force of nature wrecks havoc in other parts of the wOrLd, especially the recent typhoon that waves from The Philippines to China. At this time, the floods that is occuring could cause an alarming state similar to that of 1998's over flooding of The Yangtze river! The heavy winds travelling at least 128kph will slam through the Guangdong Province and Jilin City as reported in the last few days.
Another flood has also hit Pakistan last week and has claimed to be as deadliest as their previous disaster in 1929!
We are told to expect another Elnino heat identical to 1998.
So we are being told that this year is the hottest season since 1998. It is also being reported by our Natural Resources & Environment Authority that the sea levels has risen off the west coasts. Northwards, Langkawi Island's west coast would rise by 10cm while down south in Tanjung Piai, Johor would rise by 13cm!
Well, but our DID ( Drainage & Irrigation Department ) is doing their job in coastlines rehabilitaion that are listed under Category One. It was said that about 300km of coastlines in the Peninsular has been eroded by the sea.
Well, looks like our relevant authority has been doing a good job too! At least they are taking every precaution to protect the coastlines from further erosion or else our country will "shrink" in the next 100 years as being found that our coastlines will be covered with another 10-13 cm of sea water!
Whereas on land, we have people doing the part by intensifying the Go Green Great Concern!
Currently Penang has been the most agressive! Let's hope people from all over the country will increase their support in going green too!
