To create and maintain a sustainable lifestyle and culture. To save the world!

ABOUT ME

Wilson is the founder and President of the Environmental Challenge Organisation (Singapore), also known as ECO Singapore. The organisation was operationalise in 2006. It has since expanded with an outreach of empowering more than 2,000 youths and educating up to 60,000 members of the public, all geared to doing their part to protecting the environment. Thou being involved in volunteering work since the age of 9 in various volunteering sectors, his awareness on the environmental sector only got more attention when he attended the ASEAN Youth Forum on the Environment in 2000. Subsequently, his trip to the United Nation's World Summit on Sustainable Development (WSSD) in Johannesburg in 2002 inspired him to take on the path of the environment as the focus to make the world a better place.

Wilson was a full time air traffic controller in the Republic of Singapore Air Force from 2002 to 2006 while he pursue his passion. Despite the job intensity during his working days, he was still involved in various environmental movements, activities, and projects. This includes the formation ECO Singapore and used it as a platform to reach out to more youth as drivers to educate the general public. He left on 30th April 2006 to pursue his passionate full time. This is also when ECO Singapore started to operationalize full time instead of having adhoc activities and programmes prior.

Having seen the state of the environment in many developed and developing nations, Wilson believes that the only way to create a better planet for human survivability is for every individual to take responsibility of their own action by being more conscious about their daily choices in consumption habits.

He strongly believes that environment plays a very vital role in society that his life mission can simply be phased into one sentence, "To create and maintain a sustainable lifestyle and culture". This is his way to try to make a difference and in his words, "... to save the world"

His other goal as well is to create 10,000 green jobs by the age of 40.

PHILOSOPHY

You are your own worst enemy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Since I travel a great deal and now I have my own space. I thought it would be great to be able to share what I do and also be able to share people about the little secrets in my country. And I personally love to learn from other people's stories as well.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've surfed couple of places and enjoy a great deal meeting NEW people and sharing stories. I also have CSers to just hang out and party both overseas and done so in my own country.

Its great to just chat about the world and how we can perhaps aid to make it a better place. :)
