Ahmad Mukhtar is the 500th individual to become a dedicated wattwatter (contributer to the site) in under a year. Ahmad sums up what wattwatt is about: “Working on Trade issues primarily (International Trade, WTO, Intellectual Property) however my passion is to work for environment and energy related issues. I think that energy is one of the biggest challenges for future of our globe and we have to contribute our bit.” Ahmad’s first pulse (or posting) calls on the wattwatt community to discuss the issue of carbon trading.
