In recent years, awareness about environmental issues has gradually gained momentum among many Malaysians. Many going green initiatives, i.e. Earth Hour, "No Plastic Bags on Saturdays" campaign and Greener Cleaner Penang are some of the catchy names for going green that are quick becoming part of our lives.
It is also in recent years that "recycling bag" becomes so common among many Malaysians.
Going green does not only involve recycling. It actually involves more that that.
Basically, going green means to live life, as an individual as well as a community, in a way that is friendly to the natural environmental and is sustainable for the earth.
It means contributing towards maintaining the natural ecological balance in the environment, and preserving the earth and its natural systems and resources. It also means taking steps, whether small or big, to reduce the harm we do to the environment.
In practice, going green can be adopted from the following aspects of our daily life:
- practice recycling;
- reduce pollution;
- conserve resources;
- conserve energy; and
- reduce consumption and waste.
These aspects are essential in protecting the environment from harm, as well as helping to ensure that living on earth is sustainable. In addition, it saves money!
Most of the damage we cause to the environment is the result of our own ignorance. It is hoped that the community of Mutiara Bukit Jalil as a whole could make a difference by adopting and promoting the green practices. Keep our neighbourhood green and clean for a better living for all!
Finding a better way everyday!
