10 Acts of Green Towards Earth Day

The 10 Acts of Green by Penang Butterfly Farm is our contribution to a bigger environmental cause by the Earth Day Network, “A Billion Acts of Green ®”. It is also a leap forward to the realization of our vision, “Seeing harmony between human and the environment…”

One act of kindness each day up until Earth Day 2014 which falls on the 22nd of April. Some acts were adopted for long term, just because we truly care…

This Earth-friendly poster was made with recycled plastic bag, old newspaper, yarn and dry leaves.

Employees spent a few minutes to sign-up as Penang Green Citizens. As a Green Citizen, they pledge to, save water, conserve energy, support the No-Smoking initiative, reduce plastic bag usage, stop open burning, stop littering, reduce carbon footprint, cut down the use of polystyrene food containers, help to create a caring society and orbserve the 3Rs- reduce, reuse and recycle.

Everyone were encourage to bring their own food containers when “taking-away” food and reduce the use of plastic bottles by bringing their own water tumblers.Inside our offices, we observe at least 1 hour a day to turn-off all air-conditioning units and turn-off lights when not in use. Save the planet and save electricity at the same time!

We went out with our brooms and dustpans to clean-up the surrounding.

Lessen the traffic jam and at the same time, save fuel. Carpool is definitely cool.

We are going organic. By doing so, it enhances the “ecosystem” by providing habitat to more variety of natural creatures and soil-dwelling organisms.
With the help of the tropical sunshine and some generously scattered rain throughout the following months, we hope to reap a good harvest soon.We conducted an online campaign to encourage the public to create a little patch of greenery in their backyard to attract “green heroes” like butterflies, bees and birds. Let’s reduce our waste and recycle.
Everyday, our recycle bins and shack are open for our employees to bring in their recycled materials.
All the recycled items are then donated to SIMA Handicapped Centre.
