With the global pandemic and the lack of tourists, you would think that our beaches would be pristine and clean, but you’d be wrong. Despite our lack of visitors, the beaches are still inundated with plastic water bottles, bags and cigarettes, which means some of it is coming from us.

In the last decade, the term ‘superfood’ has become ubiquitous in food marketing. It is used to denote nutritionally dense foods, and they have slapped the label on acai and Goji berries, hemp and chia seeds, wheatgrass, blueberries, and kale, among others. However, there is no clear definition of what a superfood is.

After the rain has gone and we are well into the dry season in Phuket, all the flowering shrubs show off their wares. Often as I look out from my study, I  can see a mass of golden blooms festooning the front wall of the garden. Nothing unusual about that, you may say. And you would be right; After all, the island is not short of spectacular yellow shrubs. But what is surprising about this one – allamanda cathartica ‒ is that once it starts, it never stops flowering. Come rain, come shine, the blooms appear every day, and unless there are high winds or torrential storms to knock them to the ground, they are produced in great profusion.

’I think when a surfer becomes a surfer, it’s almost like an obligation to be an environmentalist at the same time,’ said Kelly Slater. For years the clothing company Billabong used the tagline, “Only a Surfer Knows the Feeling.” Few sports capture the sense of freedom, reconnect you to nature and make you feel more alive than surfing does.

The ASEAN Centre for Biodiversity (ACB) late last month joined the rest of the world in celebrating the International Day for the Conservation of the Mangrove Ecosystem, which is observed each year to raise awareness of the global importance of preserving mangroves.

Since March 11, 2020, the day COVID-19 was declared a pandemic, the world as we know it has never been the same. The virus that reportedly originated from wildlife continues to have profound impacts on everyone in the world, including the ASEAN region. More than 4.9 million cases with more than 95,000 fatalities have been reported in the region as of July 2, according to the situation report of the ASEAN Bio-Diaspora Regional Virtual Center.

As the world looks to reopening, it needs to consider making itself more sustainable. The current form of capitalism is based on profit maximization by selling the lowest-quality product and depending on good branding to get the highest price. This short-term thinking and ‘buy and throw away’ mentality has led us to the climate crisis that we are currently in. However, sustainability doesn’t need to come at the cost of profits and can benefit your brand.

Green Thoughts: The ins and outs of fertilizers
Green Thoughts: The ins and outs of fertilizers
Sunday 6 June 2021, 02:00PM
Today I bought some plant fertilizer. Hardly an earth-shattering event. But certainly an earth-improving one. True, there are agents which actually alter the very structure of your soil for the better – natural substances such as peat, coconut fibre or compost or more sophisticated agents such as vermiculite or volcanic perlite. All these so-called ‘amendments’ are named on account of their capacity to improve texture and aeration in your garden’s soil. Thus, in terrain that is light and sandy, they will be needed for better water retention: in flower beds composed of heavy clay, amendments will assist drainage and friability. Horses for courses.

Sustainably Yours: Science and Conspiracy Theories
Sunday 18 April 2021, 11:00AM
Jewish space lasers, the lizard oligarchy, QAnon, 5G causes COVID-19, the global pandemic is a hoax, Bill Gates is trying to microchip the world, the moon landing was faked, the Earth is flat. Conspiracy theories have always been with us, but mostly they remained on the fringe, with your weird uncle who claimed aliens abducted him. However, today thanks to the Internet and social media they’ve gone mainstream, but like theoretical physicist Lawrence Krause likes to say, “Keep an open mind, but not so open that your brain falls out.”
Green Thoughts: Greening your garden
Green Thoughts: Greening your garden
Sunday 11 April 2021, 02:00PM
Not all colour in your garden comes from flowers or fruit. After all, few flowers bloom all year round, and fruits are highly seasonal. Nor is foliage limited to conventional leaves: it can come in the form of casuarina needles – or distinctive succulent shapes that do not resemble leaves at all. Nonetheless, leafy plants are central to your tropic garden, the more so since evergreen foliage retains its hues all year round. Not just green either, but silver, bronze, red, purple, and of course, variegated.
