Surrounded by forest since young did not stop Matthias Gerber from being the Greenest Person on the Planet in an online competition by 3rd Whale in Canada.
He has been to 40 countries in 19 years as a passionate advocate of green living, working on his mission to inspire people to make a positive and permanent change towards living and working sustainably. He started up Eco Warriors in 2008, a community movement focused on taking positive action to combat climate change. By successfully reducing personal carbon footprint with a life without a car and a monthly USD10 electric bill, he believes Malaysia should not only reduce building power plants, but also focus on reducing 10 percent electricity consumption for each household. As of date, Matthias has single-handedly built the first tiny off-grid eco home in Malaysia and published a book printed with Mushroom ink on recycled paper without a single tree being cut.
With the concept of green revolution in Malaysia, Matthias needs everyone to be the agent of change. One small action at a time, your small step today may heal the world tomorrow.
