Reduce Reuse and RECYCLE

Good day everybody, let us recycle!

Even in the mid-90s beck when I was in primary school Malaysian government has done their part to encourage recycling (I remember seeing adverts on the tele and colourful bins around the school compound). More stressed were given when I was in Wales for my pre-university and luckily when I was studying for my undergraduate, I have one of my housemates who was very particular in recycling!(thank you Emily Reed-plus she supports Green party).

Thanks to the awareness, I try to make it a habit now in my house to recycle almost anything that can be recycled other than food (which Ems will force us to put into her compost bin back in those uni days).

Recycling in KL can be easier at some part of the city than others. Unfortunately, the municipal council where I live in has not introduced any scheme/direction yet for residents to separate their garbage. Luckily there is a recycling centre just about 5 mins away from where I live.

Reuse. Some of the departmental stores in KL (Carrefour especially) will offer their empty boxes up for reusing so you do not need to use/buy their plastic bags. Quite similar to Lidl in the UK. Of course there ara many other ways to reuse that we already know and I do not have to bore you with that.

Reduce. Malaysia imposes the no plastic bag day every Saturday. This effort forcefully reduces the amount of plastic bags consumer would use from grocery stores etc. Good job but please don't stop there Malaysia!

So before thinking of buying a new item or throwing your garbage away; remember Jack Johnson's song Reduceeeeee Reuseeee and Recycleee!
