AS Sabahans, we face daily challenges. Yet, let’s take a moment to delve into a complex topic: the carbon market.
Terms like carbon trade and carbon tax may have crossed your path. This subject can often be misunderstood, viewed both positively and negatively.
As a fellow Sabahan, I understand the confusion. The concept can be as slippery as walking briskly on the mosaic sidewalks in Time Square on a rainy day.
The saying “the road to hell is paved with good intentions” comes to mind; even with the best intentions, if we do not take the right actions, we can still end up causing harm.
