  • I've had the privilege to attend a talk titled "Go Green at Home + Work: what's in it for you?" organized by my company recently. It was a very insightful sharing by Matthias who is a very knowledgeable and excellent speaker. The "how to go green" tips shared by Matthias are very practical. He is a very passionate environmental activist who has inspired me to start playing a more significant role in contributing to conserve and protect mother earth at home and at work. I highly recommend his talk as well to other companies who want their employees to get more engaged.

  • Matthias is an amazing speaker on eco topics - he covers both simple actions that people can implement daily and complex themes like climate change or ecological tax reform. He does it in ways that people can understand and relate too. His talk at Mrs Malaysia Kebaya inspired me to live a greener lifestyle.
