Foreword
JOIN US TO SAVE OUR HOME
A message from the founder of Asean Affairs
The Save Our Plant Forums were started by
Swarup Roy, Founder of Asean Affairs-the
Global Publication of Southeast Asia. The
conferences started in March 2010 in
Bangkok and continue in Malaysia,
Singapore, India, Vietnam and China,
culminating in a megaconference in 2011 in
New York City.
Concept
It is now apparent to many that the task of
implementing measures to combat climate
deterioration falls on the private sector,
including companies and individuals. To
accomplish this, shared solutions need to be
produced. The goal of Save Our Planet
conferences is to develop and define these
practical solutions.
Speakers and Participants
Among the speakers and participants that
have appeared at the Save Our Planet
Conferences have been: Dr. Michael Nobel
of the Nobel Charitable Trust, Dr. Haans
Schumacher, German Ambassador to
Thailand; Dominikus von Pescatore of
Bayer, David Oberhuber from German
Technical Cooperation, Tony Novak of
Emerson, Sumit Phokrel of the Asian
Development Bank and Shayne Heffernan
from Ebeling Heffernan.
Corporate partners
The Save Our Planet concept has attracted
a wide range of partners including: Bayer,
Biersdorf, Ebeling Heffernan, Emerson,
PTT Public Company-Thailand, the German
government through its local embassies,
German Technical Cooperation (GTZ) and
Tesco.
Potential partners looking to support the
Save Our Planet initiative are: the US$29
billion dollar Birla Group, the French energy
giant US$110 billion GDF Suez Group, the
Hinduja Foundation of Switzerland and
London, and the heads of state of Asean and
European countries.
Save Our Planet Foundation
The creation of the Save Our Planet
Foundation as a nonprofit organization to
fight climate change is another goal. The
foundation would support innovations in
technology, processes and methods across
Asia and fund start-up companies to fight
climate change. The foundation would
create various mechanisms to achieve these
goals, one of them launching an “Asian
Green Awards” for the best innovations and
companies involved in the eco-economy.
Final report to the United Nations
At the conclusion of the New York Save
Our Planet megaconference in New York
in 2011, a comprehensive report will be
produced and submitted to the United
Nations Environment Programme (UNEP),
anticipating that this report would be
viewed as major Asian contribution to the
climate crisis issue.
We seek your support to Save Our Home
and Our Planet.

TONY NOVAK
Country General Manager
Novak set up his presentation with the fact that if civilization’s future hinges on one issue - other than
global pandemic or war - that issue is energy. He said we’ve built a civilization dependent on hydrocarbon based energy for its growth and pointed out that the laws of thermodynamics teach us current
levels of energy input are required simply to maintain equilibrium but the ability to continue input at
current levels is questionable. Supplies are more difficult to find, extract, and process than ever before.
In the industrialized world there are 10 calories of hydrocarbon energy involved in the production of
every calorie of food.
And, the use of hydrocarbon based energy impacts climate change which in turn threatens water as
well as food production required to meet the growing demands of an ever increasing global population.
He said geologists continue to debate peak oil theory but a critical point about which there is no
longer a debate is that we are consuming oil at a faster rate than the rate at which we are adding new
reserves. While no combination of currently available alternative energy sources alone is sufficient to
significantly offset the hydrocarbon component of the energy complex, accelerated development of alternative energy sources together with an intense focus on energy efficiency are essential components
of solutions that are currently being brought to bear and that will be increasingly important in future.
Among those solutions currently being deployed to achieve greater energy efficiency are those based
on advanced digital technologies developed and manufactured by Emerson.

I thank their Excellencies for their support in the
cause of saving the planet and agreeing to speak at
this event today in spite of their busy schedules.
Copenhagen Climate summit of Dec 2009. With the
intense interest on the “Green Technologies” of the
near future and our world’s obsession with carbon
based fuels these series of conferences have been
created to debate Climate Change and what Asean
can do to prevent and mitigate this vital challenge
of our times. The conferences started in March 2010
in Bangkok and continues in Malaysia, Singapore,
India, Vietnam and China, culminating in a mega
conference in 2011 in New York City.
I launched The Save Our Plant Forums in the beginning of this year in response to the failure of the

Speakers and Participants
Among the speakers and participants that have
appeared at the Save Our Planet Conferences have
been: Dr. Michael Nobel of the Nobel Charitable
Trust, German Ambassador to Thailand; Dominikus
von Pescatore ofBayer, David Oberhuber from German Technical Cooperation, Tony Novak of Emerson, Sumit Phokrel of the Asian Development Bank
and Shayne Heffernan from Ebeling Heffernan.
Some of them have joined us as speakers and supporters here today in SOP-Malaysia. I thank them for
their support for the SOP series across Asia.
Corporate partners
The Save Our Planet Forums has attracted a wide
range of partners including: Bayer, Biersdorf,
Ebeling Heffernan, Emerson, PTT Public CompanyThailand, the German government through its local
embassies, German Technical Cooperation (GTZ)
and Potential partners looking to support the Save
Our Planet initiative are: the US$29 billion dollar
Birla Group, the French energy giant US$110 billion
GDF Suez Group, the Hinduja Foundation of Switzerland and London, and the heads of state of Asean
and European countries.
Save Our Planet Foundation
The creation of the Save Our Planet Foundation as
a nonprofit organization to fight climate change is
another goal. The foundation would support innovations in technology, processes and methods across
Asia and fund startup companies to fight climate
change. The foundation would create various mechanisms to achieve these goals, one of them launching an “Asian Green Awards” for the best innovations and companies involved in the eco-economy.
Final report to the United Nations
At the conclusion of the New York Save Our Planet
mega conference in New York in 2011, a comprehensive report will be produced and submitted to the
United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP),
anticipating that this report would be viewed as
major Asian contribution to the climate crisis issue.

for individuals, businesses, civic society and governments to contribute towards saving our planet from
catastrophic consequences before it is too late.
Today we will hear from 19 distinguished speakers
and moderators in Save Our Planet-Malaysia. Our
endeavour has been to engage the private sector
more than government or agencies, we need the
private sector to join us in this endeavour. So you
will hear from them today what they are doing to
mitigate the effects of climate change.
What we need today is action on the part of us allindividuals, organizations, companies, societies –the
time to sit on the fences is over. We have to take
action to SAVE OUR PLANET.
I will look forward to your continuing support and
welcoming you at our next events.

Audience members sit absorbed by one of the panel discussions.
A total of 200 leaders from business, government,
think tanks, embassies, chambers of commerce and
media in Malaysia attended The Save Our Planet
Forum that concluded in Kuala Lumpur on Tuesday,
3rd August 2010 at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel.
Save Our Planet is a global series of forums focusing on meeting the challenges of global warming
and reducing man’s carbon footprints. The first two
Save Our Planet Forums were held in Bangkok.
Future events are planned in Singapore, Hanoi,
Jakarta (across Asean), India and a Save Our Planet
megaconference in New York City next year. The
Save Our Planet forums are organized by the Asean
Affairs Business Council.
The Save Our Planet Forum in Malaysia was keynoted by Peter Chin, Malaysia’s Minister of Energy,
Green Technology and Water and Rafidah Aziz,
former Minister of International Trade and Industry
for Malaysia. The event attracted experts from all
over the globe to interact and suggest solutions to
the environmental challenges facing Malaysia and
Asean countries.
AseanAffairs Founder and CEO, Swarup Roy,
opened the event by giving the history of the Save
Our Planet forums and stressed the importance of
the private sector in addressing climate deterioration issues.

Session 1-Governments as Change Agents-An Uphill Task
YB Dato’ Sri Peter Chin, Minister of Energy, Green Technology & Water, Malaysia.
In the first session, keynoter Peter Chin emphasized that energy efficiency and conservation play a
role in Malaysia’s current New Economic Model.
He noted that reducing energy sector emissions was
the top priority of Malaysian government as there
had been a 55 percent increase in greenhouse gases
between 1994 and 2000. Chin also observed that
Malaysia’s per capita CO2 emissions were 7.1 tons
per capita as opposed to the 2.6 ton per capita rate
of other nations in the Asia-Pacific region.
He said there would be a heavy reliance on solar
energy and biomass to create energy and more jobs
with the goal of a “valid mix of energy resources.”
The minister said that nuclear energy may be an option for Malaysia after 2020.
“REDUCING ENERGY
SECTOR EMISSIONS IS OUR
TOP PRIORITY.”

YB Tan Sri Rafidah Aziz make an emphatic point as she answers a question from the audience.
Former minister Rafidah Aziz said in her address
that it was important for “governments to realize
that they were not only stakeholders of a country
but the planet,” and said many “can’t get beyond
nationalism.”
She listed Malaysia’s unique environmental problems: seasonal haze, much of it drifting in from
burning peat in Indonesia and the need to preserve
the rich biodiversity of Borneo. Aziz also suggested
that the Asean community should establish codes
of practice recognized by the world community for
various economic activities such as plantations and
benchmarks for emissions and waste treatment.
She observed that pockets of poverty remain in
Asean, “who cares about carbon footprints, if they
have no shoes” and urged the audience to make the
“green agenda part of everyday life.”
“GOVERNMENTS NEED TO
REALIZE THAT THEY ARE NOT
ONLY STAKEHOLDERS OF A
COUNTRY, BUT THE PLANET.”

European Union Ambassador to Malaysia Vincent
Piket stressed that Malaysia could benefit from
European experience in the sustainable energy
sector and that global accord on combating climate change still needed to be reached.
The ambassador said it was important to mobilize public opinion in Malaysia to invest in green
endeavors.
In that regard he singled out Brazil, China and
India for “hiding behind the developing country
label” and suggested that they do have a role in
combating climate change and expressed the view
that the EU felt that multilateral cooperation was
necessary.

Session 2-Companies as Change Agents: Leading the Way
Tony Novak, Country General Manager, Emerson
(Thailand) Ltd.
Steve McCoy, Founder & Principal, Counterpoint Consulting
Sdn Bhd, Malaysia.
This session, moderated by anchorman, Shafizan
Johari, of Bisnes Awani, featured two representatives of environmentally conscious companies, a
sustainability consultant and an academic leader addressing the role of the private sector in the climate
change battle.
Emerson produces a wide range of products and has
introduced digital “predictive intelligence technology” in the nuclear energy field to increase efficiency
and make nuclear energy safer.
Tony Novak, country general manager for Thailand
for the Emerson company spoke on his company’s
impact on the carbon footprint.
Among Emerson’s consumer products, Novak noted
that a system has been developed by the company
using its Insinkerator home garbage disposal unit.
The unit links to a plant that turns the disposed garbage into methane and fertilizer.
Novak set up his presentation with the fact that it
required 10 calories of hydrocarbon to produce one
calorie of food. He also noted that the critical point
of oil production will be reached in 2013, when less
oil is being produced than is being held in reserve
stocks.
Sustainability consultant Steve McCoy of Counterpoint noted that companies must make the transition
to the 21st century while maintaining profitability.
He cited the book, “Confessions of a Radical Industrialist” by Ray Evans as a prototypical example of
how companies can reach this goal.
He said the future of the planet rested on technologies in the fields of logistics, materials and energy
to reduce world energy requirements by 25 to 45
percent.
Among the interesting environmental facts that must
be reversed through more efficient technology McCoy cited the need for 136 liters of water to produce
one cup of coffee.
“IF YOU ASKED ALMOST ANYONE
ABOUT HOW MUCH WATER IT
TAKES TO PRODUCE A COFFEE,
THEY’D PROBABLY SAY A CUP, BUT
IT ACTUALLY TAKES 136 LITRES TO
PRODUCE A CUP OF COFFEE.”

Session 3 – The Sustainable Corporation
Seitle S. Dhillion, Vice President & Head of Oil & Gas Division,
Siemens Malaysia
M.R. Chandran, Advisor to the Executive Board, Roundtable on
Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO), Malaysia.
Seitle S. Dhillion, Vice President & Head of Oil &
Gas Division, Siemens Malaysia, detailed his company’s role in developing energy-efficient cities as
most of the world’s population will be living in cities
in the 21st century.
Chandran said, “Mother Mature doesn’t do bailouts”
and observed that China and South Korea were the
only countries that had drawn up plans for renewable energy to account for 50 percent of future
energy needs. Agriculture had to either expand its
acreage in the only remaining untapped areas: the
Congo, Amazon or Borneo or increase yields in
existing regions.
He concluded, “The days of cheap food are over.”
M. R. Chandran, advisor to the executive board
of Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil Malaysia,
admitted that his subject, agriculture, has not been
widely discussed in green technology debate, but he
pointed out that the world’s people could not survive
without food.
He observed that the free capitalist market system
had fall be the wayside with the collapse of the recent financial system. More importantly, that system
had failed because of the inability to address:
Climate change and global warming, environmentally sustainable energy, water security, maternal
heath care, primary education and rising unemployment and the greatest failure, abatement of poverty.
He stressed a new model was needed based on low
carbon yields and greater energy efficiency.

DO BAILOUTS”

He said the in the future the planet needed a program to be based on economic prosperity, environmental regeneration and social equity and that
companies needed to make a profit to support the
world population.
“THE RISK OF INACTION

OUTWEIGHS THE TURMOIL OF

The projects are environmentally sound and provide

Wetlands Alliance is a consortium of 40 agencies
that support the project and fund the projects as
governments do not have the funds to invest in the
projects.
The four presenters were joined by Steve McCoy,
Herbert Ditmmar, managing director of Bayer
Malaysia and Thomas Brandt, head of the environmental energy and green tech committee of the EUMalaysia Chamber of Commerce.
The discussion focused on the two issues of population growth and excessive consumption, need and

efficiency in an individual house setting: a Malaysian
case study.”
Singh reinvented his two-story home over a threeyear period incorporating sustainable energy lifestyles, green technology and energy auditing.
To accomplish this, the most important step was insulating the roof, installing a solar panel on the roof,
using aluminum louvers to reflect outside heat and
installing rainwater collection tanks.
No air conditioning is used in the home as windows
are opened at night to let in cool air and closed during the daytime to repel the heat.
Thomas Brandt noted that if people in developing countries wanted to “eat like Americans” four
more planets the same size as planet Earth would be
required.
He also mentioned that governments needed to
supply companies with a framework to grow and innovate in the new century and that mere government
policies were not enough.
Gurmit Singh stated that as an oil and gas producing
country, Malaysia had grown complacent in becoming energy-efficient and other Asean countries were
moving forward faster than Malaysia.
The renovation effort resulted in substantially reduced energy usage.
Hanns Guttman, coordinator of the Wetlands Alliance at the Asian Institute of Technology, Thailand,
outlined the projects that the alliance has fostered in
Thailand and Cambodia.

WHAT CAN YOU DO
TO SAVE OUR PLANET
10 Simple Tips
It is now widely accepted that global warming is occurring and human behavior is the major
factor-too many people using too many natural resources to heat up the planet. Here are
some down-to-earth practical suggestions from AseanAffairs that we can use on a daily
basis to help our planet and lead healthier lives.
1) Use Low-flow shower heads - they reduce water consumption.
2) Use the new energy-efficient light bulbs or compact fluorescent lamps. They look different, but they save electricity. A global switch to energy-saving bulbs would reduce an
equivalent of 470 million tons of CO2.
3) Unplug unused appliances. Approximately 95 percent of the energy used in electronic
appliances can be saved by unplugging them.
4) When purchasing new appliance, try to purchase energy-saving ones.
5) Cleaning or replacing filters on air conditioners makes them work better and can save
350 pounds of CO2 emissions a year.
6) Set air conditioner temperatures at a minimum temperature of 25 degrees C.
7) Use rechargeable batteries, they can reduce your carbon footprint by 1,000 pounds over
the life of the batteries.
8) Keeping your auto in good operating condition through regular maintenance checks can increase the engine’s efficiency by 10 percent.
9) Use reusable cloth bags instead of plastic ones when shopping.
10)At work save paper by using e-mails instead of paper.
AseanAffairs hopes that these tips prove useful. One of the readers of AseanAffairs has
written a nice article about solar power that can be found at: http://www.aseanaffairs.com/

“Our planet is still full of wonders. As we explore
them, so we gain not only understanding, but power.
It’s not just the future of the whale that today lies
in our hands: it’s the survival of the natural world in
all parts of the living planet. We can now destroy or
we can cherish. The choice is ours.”
