IntroductionClimate change is an individual, community, and global health issue.

Malaysia aims to reduce its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions intensity of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) by 45% by 2030 relative to the emissions intensity of GDP in 2005

1. Healthy Lifesytle

❑Reduce the amount of meat protein on menus – the livestock sector and meat protein production is a substantial source of greenhouse gas emissions

❑Buy local and seasonal food – reduce long distance food transport leads to lower emissions

❑Compost food waste – creates a recycled product (compost) that can replace fertilizer

❑Eliminate bottled water – encouraging tap water use will reduce waste ( bottle waste) and energy use related to bottle transportation and production

• Jumlah yang cukup untuk merendahkan paras lemak dan meningkatkan tahap kecergasanaerobik.

• Bersamaan 7 hingga 8 km, atau 1 jam 40 minitberjalan tanpa henti.

• Secara purata akan membakar 2,000 hingga3,500 kalori.

• Jika sasaran adalah penurunan berat badan, maka perlu disasarkan 10,000 hingga 12,000 langkah sehari.

Aktiviti fizikal

▪mampu mengurangkan risiko kematian dan morbiditi akibat

penyakit kardiovaskular (penyakit jantung dan angin ahmar).

▪mampu mengurangkan risiko kematian dan ketidakupayaan

akibat komplikasi di kalangan individu yang sudah menghidap

penyakit NCD.

Aktiviti fizikal yang dilakukan secara tetap dan berkala juga

dikaitkan dengan kesejahteraan psikologi yang lebih baik,

iaitu dengan pengurangan tekanan (stress), kebimbangan

(anxiety) dan kemurungan (depression).

3. Environmentally preferable purchasing

Ask for products that are more environmentally responsible and worker-friendly.

➢Buying in Bulk

➢Buying Recycled Content - eg office paper, paper towels, toilet paper

➢Double-Sided Copiers

➢Energy Efficiency -Buying products that have a higher energy efficiency

➢Less Packaging/Reusable Totes

➢Alternatives to Products Containing Flame Retardants

➢Alternatives to Products Containing Mercury

➢Alternatives to Products Containing PVC/DEHP

➢Purchasing Food with Reduced Antibiotics

➢Reprocessing Single Use Devices

➢Reusables

Environmentally preferable products are generally:

➢Less toxic

➢Minimally polluting

➢More energy efficient

➢Safer and healthier for patients, workers, and the environment

➢Higher in recycled content

➢Packed in less packaging material

➢Fragrance-free

4. Less waste

Landfilled waste produces methane, a potent greenhouse gas with 25 times the global warming potential of carbon dioxide over a hundred year period.

Waste incinerators emit more carbon dioxide per megawatthour than any other fossil fuel-based power source, including coal-fired power plants

Action- 3R ( Reduce, Reuse,Recycle)

5. Transportation

❑Transportation wields a big footprint- the amount of energy that goes intoworkforce commuting, patient andfamily travel, and transporting goodsand services.

❑Currently, 97 percent of vehicles onthe road today burn fossil fuel, andthe number of vehicles worldwide ison pace to double by 2030.

❑Transportation is the fastest growingsource of greenhouse gas emissions.

❑According to the World HealthOrganization, nine out of 10 peopleworldwide live in places where airpollution exceeds safe guidelines.This contributes to asthma andrespiratory illness, heart disease andstroke, cancer, and traffic injuries.

Sustainable transport can save you money, improve your health and reduce your environmental footprint.

➢Walk for short trips. Walking helps reduce body fat, lower blood pressure and is free.

➢Cycle instead. Switching a ten kilometre journey per week from your car to your bike will burn around 300 calories each way and can save over 300 kilograms of greenhouse gas emissions each year.

➢Consider car-pooling. Car-pooling is a great way to share costs of fuel and

➢Green DrivingIf you can’t avoid using a car reduce your impact by employing these green driving techniques:

• Regularly check your tyre pressure. Under-inflated tyres can increase fuel consumption by three per cent and take

10,000 kilometres off the tyre's life.

• Service your car regularly. A well-tuned car can use 15 per cent less fuel.

• Slow down. Driving at 90 km per hour uses 25 per cent less fuel than travelling at 110 km per hour.

• Don't idle. If you are stopping for more than ten seconds, turn your car off.

• Drive smoothly. Stopping and starting uses more fuel.

• Open your window rather than using your air conditioner when travelling at under 70 kilometres per hour. Air

conditioning can increase fuel consumption by ten per cent. At speeds above this, the drag caused by having your

window down will use more fuel than the air conditioning.

• Travel light. Don't use your car to store heavy equipment for long periods of time, an extra 50 kilograms of weight

increases fuel consumption by two per cent.

• Remove roof racks and anything fixed to the outside of your car when they are not in use to minimise wind

resistance.•

Air travel is always (by far) the most carbon-intensive means of transportation per kilometre (of course multiplied by the usually also much larger distance) –- and trains are always the least polluting option, still better than carpooling in a small, modern, energy-efficient car.
