A Malaysia Record was born last Saturday. The largest collection of beverage packets in a month was achieved with the collection of 289,669 unit of packets. This is a joint attempt by MBPJ, TetraPak and Lions Clubs International District 308B1, Malaysia to raise awareness on 3R Initiative. The high impact programme was commenced on 1st February 2010 and end on 6th March 2010 with the fun-filled and entertaining Recycling Carnival at One-Utama Shopping Centre.
While achieving the Record is an achievement itself for Local Agenda 21 Petaling Jaya, the most important message to bring out from the campaign is participatory implementation of 3R. For the first time, Lions Clubs throughout Malaysia were collecting the packets and amazingly Lions Club of Kuala Trengganu comes out top amongst the participating organisation with a total collection of 26,000 packets. Many have admitted this was the first time that packets were collected as they are not aware about the recycling of packets.
The Campaign has, in fact open many's mind about 3R and recycling.
