Garbage Enzyme

3R is not only about recycling, it encompasses all ways to reduce the consumption of resources and generation of waste. If generation of waste cannot be avoided totally, then 3R means to try in any efforts to minimise the waste. It is against the believe and knowledge of many people. Hence, under the Local Agenda 21 PJ program, many approaches have been introduced to enrich people's understanding about 3R and to showcase them everything is reducible, reusable and recyclable. Recycling for spectacles, computer, beverage cartons and composting of household waste at source are some of the examples.

Garbage enzyme is no exception, becoming another focus for LA 21 PJ after the method was introduced to me by Justlife, a private entity championing the environmental stewardship. It is a multi-functional household, environmental and gardening product produced from the waste. It can be used for cleaning, air purifying, stain removing, farming, deodorising and preventing pipe blockage. It is a D.I.Y method in which everyone can make it in their house or work place, and bottom line is it is cheap.

Based on the public feedback after few rounds of demonstration sessions and roadshows, LA 21 PJ has decided to undertake this project and widen the scope for target coverage. A joint program with Beautiful Gate, Justlife and Section 19 Residents Association is on the drawing board now. It is expected to be launched on April, 2009. The educational project will teach and coach 15,000 people in PJ to experience the benefits of garbage enzyme and to make it on their own.

Please watch out...
