Me being my
curious self, so I participated in the ALAM FLORA #CyberEcoHunt22.
As the name
precedes itself, it is all about our ‘alam, flora, cyber/virtual, eco and
obviously hunt’ (I don’t think I need to explain about the 22 kot, oh well….
22=2022. Kot lah ada yang tak sure kaaaa….).
Here are
some of the recycling/upcycling/clearing waste/etc that is new to me of which I
would like for my readers to join me and start practicing together. JOM!
Bulk/garden
Waste
Beach Waste/Beach Comber
How : It is a machine attach to a tractor for cleaning ocean debris, such as wood, plastic bottles and food containers at small beaches with ease. It drains the sand and levels the beach surface.
Segregation and Selling of Waste
How : This is what we usually see at the mall – segregating waste according to paper, plastic and aluminium. What makes it even more interesting is actually at the BBC or what I’d say – ‘even our wastes have its value’. All you need to do is to go to Alam Flora BBC and sell your waste, of course you can visit any buy-back centre after all, it is about our mother earth right.
Supervisor 1 Transformation Area (1S1T)
How : This impresses me the most. 1S1T is an initiative of Alam Flora supervisors to make improvements in their respective service areas such as repairing and painting garden facilities, doing laundry activities in public places, beautifying playgrounds by planting flowers as well as repairing drain structures and sidewalks that suffered minor damage. Here you can see them beautifying the playground with recycling old tyres, the dinosaur is a winner.
Reforestation
How : This activity is close to my heart mainly because I have executed this in my old company before. Similar to what I did, this time around we planted curry tree, lemongrass, butterfly pea and few others. We should do this more I feel… on our personal capacity.
The one in KL is amazing as well with slight a different touch. Here, we grew microgreens, upcycling shirt, and the ‘tree says’ activities can be implemented anytime and everywhere. These are the things that we know it is there but never bother to do/try/share, it says a lot about us (well… me, at least).
The ‘Tree Says’
Microgreen
Upcycling Shirt
How : Is about turning our shirt into a very hipsterish bag (the baju must be cool and hipster too lah). Super easy and fun to make, infact I highly recommending this to be an activity during birthday parties. Like Sriously.
Green Quizes
How : Participants were given a series of questions to see whether we ourselves know about any ‘go green’ activities, carbon emission and etc. Educational and not so easy apparently.
All in all, we learnt a lot and had a fun time. Let's heal the world together.
