CONTENT INTRODUCTION CORE VALUE MARTHA TILAAR GROUP CONTRIBUTION MARTHA TILAAR FOUNDATION OUTCOME MARTHA TILAAR GROUP SUMMARY
INTRODUCTION The sign of global warning, from shrinking glaciers to devastating hurricanes and acidic seas. Experts say these changes are caused by the way we live and the excess carbon dioxide and other hydrocarbon gases that are the byproduct of burning fossil fuels as the primary culprits. Some say that CO2 levels are nine times what the atmosphere can absorb. In Indonesia, tsunami, floods, landslide, soil erosion and earthquake have hit us over the last few years. Smoke from land clearing by burning habit in several area, especially in Sumatra and Kalimantan has raised several complaints from our neighbor countries.
