Celebrate Prosperity, Protect the Planet! 🧧🌍
This Chinese New Year, let’s make sustainability part of the celebration! Did you know Malaysians generate around 39,078 tonnes of waste daily, with over 30% being food waste and 21.9% plastics? (The Star, Jan 2024). Festive seasons often lead to a significant increase in waste—from packaging to decorations and leftover food. Let’s break the cycle and embrace greener habits:
✨ Here’s how you can help:
1️⃣ Segregate Your Waste: Segregate and separate recyclables like papers, plastics, aluminium, glass and metals from food waste and non-recyclable items.
2️⃣ Recycle Smart: Drop your recyclables off at collection points or with your local collector/recycler.
3️⃣ Consume wisely: Avoid single-use items by opting for reusable tableware and donate or compost leftovers to reduce landfill waste.
🌱 Together, we can uphold traditions while safeguarding our Earth for future generations. Start small, but celebrate BIG—for a greener and cleaner new year! 💚
