Article: How to start reducing waste production from home

Friday June 19, 2009

IF EVERYONE took a small step to start reducing waste production from home, that huge sum of money could be used for better social and physical developments.

A simple way to do so is to make your own eco enzyme that acts as an effective cleaning agent, replacing soaps and detergents made of chemicals that pollute underground water, then rivers, and eventually the entire ecology.

This eco enzyme is simply made from water, brown sugar and unwanted fruit peels or vegetable dregs before being evenly mixed and fermented for three months. This "wonder" enzyme can then be used as a detergent, dish cleanser, natural antiseptic, air freshener and even for pet care and pest control.

Well, you can learn how to do just that from the Justlife Group at a public demonstration on Saturday, June 20th at The Star's Studio V in the 1 Utama Shopping Centre. The company together with the Beautiful Gate Foundation will be conducting the demonstration from 11am to 1pm. This is part of The Star's efforts under the "Go Green, Live Green 2009" Campaign.

The first 100 people to come for the demonstration will each take home a complimentary bottle of eco enzyme. Registration starts at 10.30am so be there and do your bit for the environment! Admission is but is limited to 100 pax on first-come-first-serve basis.
