The inaugural Hari Organik or Organic Day was held yesterday at the Jalan 19/22 field. The event was opened by YB Elizabeth Wong, Selangor State Exco for Environment. Approximately 40 stalls displaying different types of produce and products were set up. The turnout was amazing and leading me to believe that eating organic is the way forward. People are more concerned about their health and hence do not mind to pay little bit extra for staying healthier.
I think it is a great success considering that many even those from outstation as far as Melaka was presence. The demonstration on making compost and eco enzyme attracted many people. I would believe that more such demonstration sessions and talks should be held as an environmental education effort.
The guests were served with organic refreshment. Something we might have not tried, or even think about. Well, although it is difficult to tell the different, the feel good sentiment was there.
I am convinced that next Organic Day will have bigger crowd and exhibitors. Having said this, traffic control should also be given proper and thoughtful planning.
