Meat Made From Poop ~~

As we are already facing global food security crisis; Here's a solution to global food crisis, a Japanese Technology yet again :D



Mitsuyuki Ikeda, a researcher from the Okayama Laboratory has developed beef based on proteins from human excrement, reports the Huffington Post.

His idea was inspired when Tokyo sewage plant asked him to explore possible uses for the sewage and Ikeda found that the sewage contained a great deal of protein.

The final product is made up of protein (63 percent), carbohydrates (25 percent), minerals (9 percent) and lipds (3 percent).

The research team led by Ikeda colored the meat red with food coloring and enhanced the flavor with soy protein.

Ikeda hopes that the public will look beyond where the meat comes from and appreciates the meat’s positive side such as encouraging environmental responsibility.


WELL, this is also a solution to sewage treatment plant. It's all about nature, whatever goes around, comes around again, we have water cycle, nutrient cycle and for sure indirectly, food cycle in it. 


がんばれ!日本!

Do NOT Waste Water

Recently this video which have been posted on youtube last year, became a viral hit in my facebook page.
As a member and volunteer of a water NGO in Penang, Water Watch Penang , we have been constantly educating the public about the importance of saving water and cherish what we have as well as not to take things for granted.

From this video again, I would like to emphasize that we are indeed lucky in Malaysia that we have abundance of water whereas some people in other countries do not have enough water. So I sincerely wish and hope that everyone will start saving water from now on. Together we can make a difference. And if you can, please help out those unfortunate Africans. I will donate to them as well.

Make every drop counts!

P.S. Every time you flush, you will flush away 9 litres of water. If you flush less once per day, you will save 9 litres of water.
