Let's Recycle Together!

I feel we are all responsible to do our part. Let's recycle whatever items you have just bought from me. Let say you have just bought 1 box of ampoules - recycle 3 items separately in different bags which are the paper boxes, the ampoule glasses & the plastic. Bring them to any recycling centers near you. Below is an article where I copy & paste from http://www.nural.com.my/ENG/recycling.html. Hope it helps. I do want to make earth a greener place for the future of our next generation. I'm sure you too =)

Recycling in Malaysia.

In Malaysia we produce 19,000 tones of waste every day, and a majority of that ends up in landfills. Malaysia currently has 230 landfill sights and 80% of them will reach capacity within the next two years, and with land for landfill sights being at a premium there is soon going to be a big problem right on our doorsteps.
To put in perspective 19,000 tonnes of rubbish,; if you piled it all up it would be as high as 36 Petronas Twin Towers, that’s an awful lot of rubbish to deal with on a daily basis.
Our task now is to try and reduce the amount of rubbish going into these landfills. If everybody
does their little bit then it amounts up to a lot. Alam Flora Sdn Bhd has an extensive list on their website of all recycling centres in and around Kuala Lumpur. Please visit www.alamflora.com.my for the nearest recycling centre closest to you and learn how a little effort can make a big difference to this beautiful country.
