Penang Go Greener and Cleaner

The Penang government will launch the Cleaner Greener Penang Initiative, a collaboration between the state and the Penang Island and Seberang Perai municipal councils with various quarters such as state environment non-governmental organisations, residents associations, the private sector and government agencies.
State local government committee chairman Chow Kon Yeow who chairs the programme said the initiative seeks to improve the quality of life, create a greener public realm for Penangites and address cleanliness issues which have plagued the state for a long time.

The state government’s green programmes have included reducing the use of plastic bags, tree planting and using micro-organism mudballs. More details, go to official website http://greenstate.penang.gov.my/
