The inaugural Green Hero of Petaling Jaya Award was launched this morning. The Award is conferred to individual in Petaling Jaya that have been contributing towards environmental conservation/protection and local sustainability for the past three years. The Award is part of the efforts by the Petaling Jaya City Council in making PJ a Green and Low Carbon City. It is also held in conjunction with the celebration of 5th Anniversary of City Day.
The closing date for nomination is 10th June 2011. Form can be downloaded from the www.mbpj.gov.my.
While effort in identifying and recognising the initiatives done by individual is on going, out reach to the people is equally important in order to solicit nomination. Hopefully deserving individual will get the recognition due for them.
Green effort is not only confined to institutions, but collective efforts done by individual. Sometime the little action by individual will be able to inspire others to start their own. Hence, highlighting such efforts is important so that others will follow the good practice and start doing it.
MBPJ is duty bound to search for such personality and highlighting the good practices, after all having more people doing the green things will help in greening the city, an ultimate aim for any city manager.
