Change starts with us, says ‘environthusiast’

Jasmin and her trusty mountain bike Beatrice, which takes her all around town.

GEORGE TOWN: The first step towards saving the world begins with you. That is the life motto of Jasmin Irisha Jim Ilham, an environmental-enthusiast or as she prefers it, “environthusiast”.

The 23-year-old, who is passionate about cycling and the environment, started the Bicycle Project at the University of Nottingham Malaysia Campus (UNMC). It is aimed at implementing a bike ren­tal system to nurture a cycling culture among staff and students on campus.
