Trees can make their own clouds??

A great structural ecosystem such as large rainforests creates its own self-sustaining effect, which other life forms benefit from. Including us!

One of the reasons why fragmented rainforest is not the same as intact rainforest.

Glass up-cycle on Tioman

Cintai Tioman
Since 2014 we have been looking for a way to deal with the glass waste on tioman. we could not recycle it on mainland and there were only a few upcycling options. Thanks to funding from Yayasan Sime Darby we were able to buy this glass crushing machine last month. the machine allows us to turn glass into sand which can be used for construction. the machine is house and managed by Rumah Hijau Tioman so please send your glass bottles there.

Sejak tahun 2014 kami telah mencari jalan untuk menangani sampah kaca di tioman. kita tidak dapat mengitar semula di tanah besar dan hanya terdapat beberapa pilihan untuk diguna semula di tioman. Tetapi dengan tajaan dari Yayasan Sime Darby kita telah dapat membeli mesin penghancur kaca ini bulan lalu. Mesin ini membolehkan kita untuk memecahkan kaca ke pasir yang boleh digunakan untuk tujuan pembinaan. mesin itu diuruskan oleh Rumah Hijau Tioman jadi sila hantar botol kaca anda ke sana.
