Dr. (H) Joean Oon gave a talk on Garbage Enzyme at the Subang Jaya Buddhist Association on 24-July-2008, 8.00pm, to an attentive audience. Half of the audience, including  me,  were there to learn about the benefits of Garbage Enzyme , not knowing that by the end of the talk, this gutsy lady would have “recruited” us in her Mission to Save Mother Earth by using Garbage Enzyme to reduce Global Warming and at the same time help to heal the environment in many other ways.

 Garbage Enzyme is developed by Dr. Rosukon of Thailand, who was the teacher of Dr. Joean Oon. Together, they passionately encourage people to make garbage enzyme at home by using fresh kitchen waste (fruits and vegetables dregs), brown sugar (or jaggery or molasses) and water mixed together in an airtight container and left to ferment for up to 3 months before use.

The catalysis process during the production of the garbage enzyme will generate ozone gas O3, which reduces CO2 in the atmosphere and heavy metal in clouds that trap heat, thereby reducing the greenhouse global warming effect. At the same time, NO3 and CO3 are also formed which will enhance the fertility of the soil and are natural hormone and nutrients for plants.

Some of the benefits and uses  (extracted from www.justlifeshop.com/changeclimate) are:

• Save Money: turns kitchen waste to DIY natural household cleaners.
• Multiple Uses: natural household cleaner, air purifier, deodoriser, insecticide, detergent, body care, car care, organic fertiliser, etc.
• Reduce Pollution: Disposed garbage release methane gas that can trap heat 21x more than CO2.
• Purify Air, Increase Oxygen Level: removes odour, clears toxic air due to smoking, car exhaust,  chemical residues of household products, etc..
• Natural Pesticides: reduces mosquitoes, flies, rats, cockcroaches, etc.
• Anti-bacterial and Anti-virus: natural antiseptic for homes.
• Prevents Drainpipe Blockage: releases residues accumulated in pipes, basins, toilet bowls.

You may have conflicting views on Global Warming, but the fact is that we have to get rid of our kitchen waste in any case, and if this simple disposal technique gives so many uses and benefits, that’s already a compelling reason to do it. Along the way, if we do indeed help heal Mother Earth, that would be a real bonus. Of course, Dr Joean Oon’s perspective is the other way around; save Mother Earth and the bonus is in all these  useful  and beneficial applications of the  garbage enzyme.  She  made a  believer  out of  me.
