Article: BRATs go green

Sunday May 31, 2009

WHOEVER said that being green is boring obviously doesn't know what they're talking about. Environment is and has always been a topic close to our heart and trust us, being green is definitely cool.

Don't believe us? Well, then come on to The Star's Environment Day Celebration 2009 next week and see for yourself just how much fun it is to be green.

The R.AGE team and The Star BRATs are setting up a booth at the Forest Research Institute of Malaysia (FRIM) in Sungai Buloh, and trust us, it's going to be a riot!

This we say from our past experience as we had so much fun at our booth last year, during The Star's Green Every Day - Act Now event.

Our booth attracted manyvisitors who were interested in the environmental campaigns initiated by the StarYouth P2P (Peer-To-Peer) Greeniz (who had just recently returned from their environmental programme in Kinabatangan, Sabah back then).

The peer educators definitely had a lot of things to say about the environment! They even managed to sell some environmentally-friendly products (which were made out of recyclable items) as part of the campaign.

There was also face-painting, yummy food and games available at our booth. It was so much fun that no one wanted to leave the venue when the event was over!

Guess what? We're planning to have as much, or possibly even more fun this year at the Environment Day Celebration 2009. The event will take place on June 7 from 8am to 3pm at FRIM. There will be face-painting, a drum-circle, popcorn, fun games and interesting memorabilia for sale at the R.AGE/BRATs booth. Be sure to join us there!
