About PDS:
While the word of “sustainability” or “sustainable development” and also “climate change” are almost overused, those words remain “just words” at some degree. Contradicting the research outcome where attitude towards sustainability is well-grounded in the community, we are still living the unsustainable behaviour such as overconsumption on clothes and water, littering, wasting the food and its ingredients, illegal logging and etc. In the same time, our community continue to suffer from various climatic hazards such as flooding, heatwave, landslide and not to mention its expanded effect on our health and mental health issues. What causes the abandonment? What cancels the attitude of sustainability to pro-environmental behaviours? Why we choose to ignore the climate change?
