Inside Green Wira: Zero Waste Education in Schools

As environmental awareness grows, initiatives like Zero Waste Malaysia’s Green Wira Programme (GWP) are shaping the next generation of sustainability champions. GWP is an educational programme dedicated to training educators in Malaysia on sustainability and zero-waste living implementation. Currently open to primary and secondary school educators in the Klang Valley, the programme - which is endorsed by the Ministry of Education - equips teachers with the knowledge and skills to lead impactful waste reduction efforts in their schools and communities. Looking ahead, GWP has an ambitious goal: by 2030, it aims to empower 10,000 educators, impact 1,000,000 students, and establish 100 zero-waste schools to drive Malaysia towards a waste-free, sustainable future. What makes this year’s edition unique? Irene Chooi, the Education Programme Manager at Zero Waste Malaysia, joins us to share insights on the programme’s impact, and what’s in store for 2025.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
