各位马大生。。请帮帮忙啊，宝丽龙

星际浪子

大家好，小弟刚刚来这边继续post graduate,刚才去了马大第十二宿舍的食堂一趟。。看到了几乎全部的
摊子都还用着宝丽龙。其实小弟觉得我们可以一起为这个校园做些什么的。。

小弟2007年在国民大学毕业，当时在国大求学，自己固然也是有用宝丽龙。。因为当时我和大家一样，不知道，
也不明白宝丽龙对我们健康和环境的危害，过后有机会加入慈青，才慢慢了解宝丽龙对环境的恶性影响。就不再用
宝丽龙而该用环保饭盒。

宝丽龙不耐热，超过摄氏75度，会产生化学反应。宝丽龙的少许原料渗入食物（尤其是刚炒好的饭，面，汁之类的东西）。
那么我们如果长期摄入，是对自己的健康影响的。宝丽龙也不能分解，今天我们用一个宝丽龙，它永远都是一个垃圾，
其实我国的垃圾场都几乎饱和，一个不能分解的垃圾是对我们地球造成极大的影响啊。

2007年，理大慈青开始推动校园禁用宝丽龙和塑料袋运动，虽然一开始的时候固然有许许多多反对的声音，
但是同时也获得讲师与校方的认同，到今天都取得极大的成功。2008年槟城政府开始大力推动环保，各大百货市场，霸级市场每星期一不可分发塑料袋。。也获得许多人民认同，今年已经从每个星期一天到三天了。而有些槟城小贩中心（包括著名的gurney drive小房中心也相应不用宝丽龙计划）。而如没有记错这边也没星期六不可分发塑料袋吧。小弟想，如果小饭们和一般市民到可以做到响应环保计划，更况且是在我国著名高等学府，所谓未来社会栋梁的大学生呢。 其实我们环境的未来就掌握在我们自己的手上哦

请帮帮忙尽量不要用宝丽龙了，可以给自己买一个环保饭盒，美观又安全哦。对不起好像有些点讲道理这样，但是没办法啊，
请原谅小弟。感恩。

环保与全球暖化已经是最近的全球课题。。在几年前我想很多人并不知道环保的重要。。
但是现在很多平面媒体和电子媒体都有做频密的环保专题，比如星洲日报每星期一提倡吃素就地球，所以我想大家都很了解环保的急迫性了哦。。只要我们出个自己小小的力量，绝对可以改变整个情况

因为小弟看到目前在十二宿舍，用宝丽龙的不只是打包而已，甚至在食堂当场吃的也用宝丽龙盘子和杯子。。我想大家都会认为这是很不合理的。。

真的很需要大家的帮忙和大家的支持哦。。，近期小弟先找认识的一位讲师，再和慈青联系讨论这样解决这个问题。。真的很需要的大家帮忙把消息传出去，拒绝使用宝丽龙。。

感恩大家。。

还记得两年前刚进入马大时，就已经有人开始提出停止用宝丽龙盒，改用其他的盒子，比如说纸制宝丽龙盒。不过当时都只是看到他们向学生派表格，做一下 survey，然后就销声匿迹了。。。。。。
其实如果真的要提倡的话，就必须有人站出来大胆向校方建议，我相信肯定可以得到学生们的支持的，毕竟这是环保课题，大家都不能坐视不理。马大佛学会就是个很好的例子，有留意到他们在 convo stall 里面卖食物时，用的是什么盒子吗？就是纸制宝丽龙盒了。

去年有向VC投诉过了，校方成立了一个环保小组，他们说会跟进，看来进展不大……
可以的话请把第一楼写成英文，然后email到:

我今天下午写了封信给VC, 不到三小时就有回复了。。效率果然快.
只是他请 Prof Rohana, TNC(HEP) 帮忙跟进。希望好消息不会石沉大海。。

希望各位马大生鼓励大家也写给VC或Prof Rohana, TNC(HEP)。让高层知道学生们都在关心我们的环境和地球。。感恩大家

请准许小弟转贴一篇英文的槟城消费人协会的文章，可能有点长，但是绝对值得大家一读

CAP calls on the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Environment to ban the use of polystyrene material for use as food containers. This is in view of the health and environmental effects of polystyrene.

Studies have shown that polystyrene materials will leach out styrene, which is a cancer-causing agent.

In Malaysia, polystyrene foam containers are commonly used by hawkers for takeaways. In most instances hot and oily food is directly transferred to these containers. This enhances the ability of the cancer-causing material to leach into the food.

Polystyrene cups, bowls, plates, fork and spoons are also used in food courts and restaurants. Polystyrene which is usually referred to as No. 6 plastic is the third or fourth most commonly used, in millions of tons per year.

As it is cheaper than paper-based substitutes, polystyrene packing is often the choice of food manufacturers, the food service packaging sector, schools, hospitals and other institutions. Polystyrene packing comes in 2 forms – foam and solid. Foamed polystyrene is used to make Styrofoam food containers for takeaways and disposable cups, bowls and plates.
Solid polystyrene is used in products such as cutlery, yoghurt and cottage cheese containers. Polystyrene packaging can sometimes be identified by the number “6” surrounded by chasing arrows or letters “PS” usually moulded in the bottom of a food container.
Polystyrene packaging normally contain some residual styrene because the manufacturing process is not 100% efficient.

Chemicals from polystyrene can migrate into food when it is new (because they have not fully “polymerized” or become part of the plastic) and when it is old because it breaks down from heat, sun or wear.

The styrene migrated into food will end up in the body and eventually affect our health.

Styrene is classified by the World Health Organisation’s International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) as a possible human carcinogen.

Styrene is also a mutagen (that is, it causes genetic changes). Mutagens in turn may have a cancer risk and may also potentially cause reproductive damage.

The production of polystyrene involves the use of benzene, a known human carcinogen that has been linked to leukaemia. Studies done in Britain found that polystyrene used in food contact plastics can have up to 80 parts per million of benzene.

Studies have shown that exposure to small quantities of styrene can cause low red blood cells count.

Women exposed to low concentrations of styrene vapours in the workplace have a variety of menstrual disorders.

In Malaysia cancer is the second biggest killer after road accidents. Every year an estimated 40,000 new cases are detected in the country.

According to the National Cancer Registry, 1 in 4 Malaysians can be expected to get cancer in his/her lifetime.

Eliminating styrene in the diet of Malaysian would help reduce cancer risks among Malaysians. The Government should impose a ban on the use of polystyrene material as food containers due to the following reasons:
•        Polystyrene can threaten human health and our reproductive system as they leach out styrene into the food which is in contact with the plastic.
•        It is made from petroleum, a non renewable and polluting commodity.
•        It does not biodegrade. It only crumbles into fragments.
•        When thrown in the environment it will persist indefinitely as litter and will choke waterways. It may also clog animal digestive systems.
•        The bulky product takes up more space in landfills than does paper and may eventually re-enter the environment when landfills are breached.
•        Foam recycling is a public relations stunt, promoted by the plastic industries. It is done in highly centralized facilities using complex chemical processes and expends more energy.
CAP also advises consumers to bring their own containers when they are purchasing food from hawkers as this will prevent them from being exposed to cancer-causing materials such as styrene from polystyrene food containers. Consumers Association of Penang (CAP).

很感恩你的付出，毕竟有很少学生会主动关心环保的问题和拿出行动来支持。。不如你可以问问看这个环保小组的进展怎样了。。
我想只是我们的力量分散了。。如果有更多人一起来，写信与通过各种管道来呼吁校方重视这个问题，那会更好

而且我也很奇怪。。

马大不是有很多社团吗？难道没有一个社团可以真正的严重看待环保的问题。。我想全球暖化和环境问题是大家的问题。。
或者是活动照办，保丽龙照用。。我想除了佛学会和慈青，这边有其他团体认识到问题的严重性？

如果说是几年前大家还在用保丽龙还好，因为我们都不真正明白保丽龙的坏处。。因为我以前也是有用。。
但是今天各大媒体都频密的报导全球暖化与环保的课题，连超级市场都鼓励减少使用塑料袋。。
难道号称国家未来的栋梁可以当作没有什么事情发生，当作不知道吗！或者现在的大学生完全不关心社会与环境的问题。。

地球需要你们的帮忙，至少请你们写个信，或者与行动拒绝使用宝丽龙。。

这边有样本给大家。。虽然小弟的英文不大好有语法错误。。只是希望可以给大家参考
然后可以以自己的文字。。将信发给校长或其他高层。。

Dear

YBhg. Professor Datuk Dr. Ghauth Jasmon

Ban to use of styrofoam food containers in campus

Prof. Ghauth, my name is Ying and just came to UM last week to further study. I write this letter because I am care about our earth and our generations. As I know prof. is very busy therefore
Please allow me to tell the problem as simple as possible.

I was very shock when I visited 12 college last week because I saw all the food stalls in12 college are using styrofoam (made by polystyrene) containers to package food and drink, besides that, they are use styrofoam plates, plastic spoons and forks even students have their food in the café. I think this is so unreasonable for use the styrofoam and plastic even inside café and abuse the use of Styrofoam containers. (Besides 12 college almost all the café in UM also using styrofoam food containers)   

As we know the use of styrofoam to package food will effect to our health because it is cancer-causing materials and also cannot endure high temperature (75  C or above food temperature will cause the chemical reaction among the food and styrofoam. Styrofoam and plastic materials cannot degradable, even though thousands of years. Once the styrofoam become rubbish so it will never degradable and it will persist indefinitely as rubbish, then keep damage our environments and earth, forever.

I just concern why a leading University in Malaysia not take the problem seriously as environment and global warming issue are the hottest topic nowadays. USM began to ban the use of styrofoam and plactic 3 years ago. Of course at the beginning the action faces a lot of oppose especially the costs of use environment friendly food containers are higher than Styrofoam containers. But the campaign eventually success because got lot of staff, lecturers and students’ support after they are understand the negative effect of styrofoam and plastic. To day, quite a lot of hawker center in Penang also started refuse to use styrofoam containers including famous hawker centre in Gurney drive.

This is ok if students are use styrofoam several years ago because they still do not know the hazard of Styrofoam, but to day all the print and electronic medias frequently reporting the environment’s issue. In the cases, how can they still ignore the problem? As a university student they have their role and responsibility to protect and save the only earth we have, university student are our country’s future but how they can be a leader if they still don’t want to take care our earth and generation.

As I know some students’ organizations in UM have been practice some action to solve the problem, such as hand out leaflets to student encourage them refuse to use styrofoam containers and bring their own container instead. Plastic container also distributed to first year students when they just enter UM, but all the effort just bring small succeed because lack of long term follow up and  mostly reason is cannot get the support from UM managements. In this case, I sincerely appeal Prof. can consider ban the use of styrofoam in this campus. I believe a lot of students’ societies are willing to support the campaign and give their help to make the campaign success, and I will also contribute my power as most as possible as I am also a volunteer from Tzu Chi organization (NGO). I understand this is difficult to implement the law as a lot of problems need to address. I believe our future is in our hand. Nothing is important than our earth and generations. This is time for us to take some action to save our earth as the global warming crisis become more serious. Thank Prof. willing to read the letter.



Thank again.
