Reducing/preventing exposure to #farming #pesticides is imperative for #sustainability. A #ThreePercentEarth article published last month in MJSA proposes a framework that calls for integrating public health with #agricultural policy-based decision-making.

As of 6AM 18 October #BKK #Jakarta and #Yangon are #ASEAN metropolitan areas ranked among top 10 for poorest #air quality. Looks like a post #pandemic return to #BAU. #badairkills #goodairsaveslives #SDGs #toxicairASEAN

In relevance to #WorldEnvironmentDay - A 2022 published review from Idrus et al. identified pervasive freshwater #microplastics #contamination throughout #EastAsia #SouthAsia #ASEAN, and the likely health implications of polymer #heavymetal adsorption.

In the western #Malaysian state of #Perak, govt. authorities are finally coming to terms with the use of #landfills as being #unsustainable. They are proposing a more 'integrated' #wastemanagement approach that includes...#WTE incineration? Really?

A recent project study from #ThreePercentEarth showed that the top 20 nations w/the highest avg. #pesticides total exposure potential #EIRIS from 1990-2016 incl. 7 from the Americas, 5 from #Europe, and 4 each from #AsiaPacific and the Mid-East. #SDG3.9

A new #NEA report shows that #Singapore had a 29% decrease in ambient #PM25 in 2020. But still only had 20% of days w/'good' #AQI readings compared w/an avg. of 94% of days btwn. 2011-2013. After lockdowns will it be #BAU or #BuildBackBetter? #SDG11.6

In a Fall 2019 #analysis brief #ThreePercentEarth reported that #ASEAN avg. ann. #ambient #PM25 levels translated into an avg. daily exposure equiv. of 1.07 #cigarettes for each #southeastasian child ages one month to <11 yrs. To #Indonesia's env. ministry, are you listening?

Two years into a nationwide plan to reduce #singleuse and #nonbiodegradable #plasticswaste in #Vietnam,11-12% is #recycled while most is still burned, buried, or dumped into waterways leading to further #river and #ocean #pollution. #SDG11 #SDG12 not yet.

A short dip in #toxic #AirPollution. A huge increase in #plasticspollution. The time is now, the chance is now for a more #equitable, #environmentally sound recovery for #ASEAN. Let #UN #SDGs be the guide to better #healthandenvironment for #SEasia. thejakartapost.com/academia/202...

It’s the first day of #February 2021, and #ASEAN is welcomed by #AQI readings of 152 to 172 in four of its major cities. #Airquality ratings good enough to rank these urban centres among the top 20 worst in the #world . When does this region decide it wants to #BuildBackBetter?
August 13, 2025 at 2:44 PM
The 2020 #EPI score and rankings show that among #ASEAN nations only #Singapore and #Malaysia have effective #wastemanagement systems w/scores of 99.6 and 81.4, respectively. Eight other nations in the region score from below 50 to 0. #Myopic attitude to econ. development.

Three Percent Earth Foundation’s #earth_percent office is located on the grounds of The Garden Liap Klong, which recently started small-scale #chemicalsfree #vegetable #farming. We’re actively working with The Garden to develop a periodic farmer’s market on their land space.

Continued unregulated industrial #wastewater releases, and dumping of #solidwaste into the #Dokhtawaddy #river is charting a path to profound #WaterResources consequences in #Myanmar. This type of active negligence is a repudiation of #SDG6 #SDG11 #SDG12.
