We are living in an era where most of us are concern about the environment because we know what climate change has done to us.
We are experiencing serious flash flood much more than ever, the number of strong wind that has happened in a year has increased as compared to the past decade, serious drought seasons with no rain that causes the crops to die and the dam to be dried up. There are also so many hotspots that has happened during the drought season that we can't control as they happen unexpectedly in different areas.
These are the serious sign we can see in Malaysia that climate change is real and we should not deny it!
That's why there are so many green companies that have been set up lately in Malaysia to ensure Malaysia can become a Green country. These green companies that have been set up in Malaysia, they have one thing in common which is to enable more people in Malaysia to have easier access to green solutions.
So with that, there are more job opportunities in the Green Industry that have been on a rise as compared to early 2000. Check out the few potential companies you can work for part-time or full time or even volunteer yourself to learn new skills as you go with the green companies you are going with.
