Melissa Tan has been extremely busy since she was handpicked as Earth Day Network (EDN) Malaysia’s ambassador two months ago.

The newly appointed spokesperson has been in talks with different groups to organise community events, and create climate literacy and sustainability content. Also in the pipeline are plans to foster more environmental partnerships through the Washington-based EDN, the world’s largest environmental movement.
