Climate
change has emerged as a challenge faced by every citizen
in the world; and if we don't face it now, it will be
at a dire cost to ourselves, to the environment and
to the health of future generations.
The highlight of the launched was the planting of red
palm by Ong Chong Beng, Cheang Chin Wooi, Managing Director
of Manufacturing, Choe Tong Seng, Managing Director
of Marketing and Ong Hock Soon, Senior Operation Manager
of Logistics. We had shown a video on Global Warming
"An Inconvenient Truth" by former US Vice
Present Al Gore. In this documentary show, Al Gore presents
an eye-opening and compelling view of the future of
our planet and our civilization - this is a
MUST SEE Documentary.....It is a Wake Up Call. |

Besides
running this documentary in all our cafeterias for 1
week, individual can also borrow this DVD from their
respective BU Head. We have also given out to everyone
a list " Ten Things To Do "
to help stop global warming. |

Do to Save Earth from
Global Warming" |
During that week,
we also arranged re-cycle activities by locating 3 bins
at the smoking zone area. Identified 7th March - Wednesday
as the car pool day and also random checked by our Security
colleague on our employee's car tires, as keeping tires
inflated properly can improve gas mileage by more than
3% and saved 20 pounds of carbon dioxide release out
to the atmosphere. Other activities include changing
the regular light bulb to energy save bulb. |

|
| Let's
us all do our part for ourselves as well as our future
generations. IDS Malaysia will continue to create awareness
and do our part to fight global warming. Look out for
the next activity in the coming months! |
