Attempt to break the Malaysia Book of Records for the category of "The largest Collection of Beverage Packages" was announced last Thursday. MBPJ in collaboration with Lions Clubs International District 308B1, Malaysia and Tetra Pak is organising the 1 month Beverage Packets Recycling Campaign starting from 1st Ferburary 2010 to 6th March 2010. The success of the attempt will be announced during the Recycling Carnival to be held on 6th March 2010 at One-Utama Shopping Centre, Petaling Jaya.
It is an on going initiative by Local Agenda 21 MBPJ to promote 3R concept and effective waste management strategies at source. It is a capacity building programme to raise public awareness on reducing the waste and recycling the recyclable items.
Various attractive prizes under the redemption scheme are in offer. Public can claim prizes for bringing in empty packets to the designated centres. Apart from that, public with 30 packets and above are eligible for lucky draw as well.
This will be the first time Local Agenda 21 Petaling Jaya attempting a record. We are doing this in conjunction with the 10th Anniversary celebration of implementing LA 21 in PJ and in Malaysia as well.
This attempt might be the first, but definitely not the last to promote sustainable development. While we prefer to promote sustainable development progressively, at time making a hoo ha might be also good, I presume or else people might be forgetful that LA 21 is still an on going initiative.
