From Waste to Clean Communities: Klang River Cleanup

Malaysia’s Klang River is an important part of Kuala Lumpur’s epicentre, producing 145 million litres of treated water everyday. Yet, it is the second largest contributor to marine plastic pollution in the world. The Alliance of River Three (ART!) was founded to help protect, conserve and rehabilitate the Klang River. The group plans to do this by conducting clean-ups every weekend with a group of volunteers.
During these clean-ups, trash is cleared along the river. They also build walking trails and replant soil from damaged land in the hope that one day they can rehabilitate the river into a fully operational riverine park.

This is good effort to raise public awareness toward keeping the river clean, yet this kind of effort is not sustainable if the waste and drain managment / infrastructure/ planning of the country is substandard. Malaysia need compreshensive waste and recyle management, from urban planning to resource management to infrastructure and economic building to tackle the problem at it's root.

We need more evironmental heroes. Islam teaches cleanliness, where are the Malay participants?
