Unfortunately, KPA will not be joining this event as it's the holidays and there is no possible way to gather students for a meeting or an announcement. However, KPA is constantly updating the Facebook site and keeping in touch with this volunteering activity as it contributes tremendously to nature and to the education of our students in SMK ACS Klang.

Still, we would like to take the initiatives to encourage outsiders, members and friends to participate in this meaningful event taking place in Shah Alam this coming weekend. If any of you are interested, do refer to the above and follow the instructions stated for your registration to obtain your certificate of verification. This activity of planting trees might look troublesome and odd for a few people but trust me, it's an experience you shouldn't miss. Plus, it doesn't take much of your time, it's like an exercise in the morning. Really.

Good day :)

As obvious as it is, trash had been the biggest, largest and most unsolved problem faced by mankind this and now. At home, in school, on the roads, and anywhere at all, littering had somehow become a lifestyle instead of a bad habit made by human beings.

People tend to think that the trash that they’ve thrown on the ground will eventually be picked up by someone else (like government hired workers) but little did they know that if they are ignorant towards the fact that trash belongs in the bin, then everyone else might so be thinking that way too!

As oblivious as we are, the worthless or discarded material or objects we call trash/garbage have so not only affected the way we live but had also already affected the way the entire world works.

Everywhere through various networks we are told and reported that climates are changing, unpredictable phenomenon’s are occurring, the ice in the coldest places are melting, diseases are spreading, animals and plants are dying and humans are suffering but that’s not all they’re going to say. There will be more. There ARE more.

As committed as I am in the perseverance of the environment, I believe greening the world and saving the animals wouldn’t be enough if the river is not clean enough for fishes to swim in, animals continued to be sacrificed due to our disposals, air still polluted and most importantly, humans still ignorant.

If you could see, many of the problems stated above are basically formed from the garbage we throw without hesitation and consideration. Many in this life still do not know how these wastes thrown will affect us in the future if we don’t handle it right.

This concludes to the reason why trash had become my main theme for this year 2011/2012 - Nature Society Going Clean! (Say No To Littering!)

KPA is going to go over the boundaries! Instead of starting nature only in school, we are going to reach out to community and join the world! Therefore increasing awareness. From the initiative of our support, then perhaps we can have cleaner beaches, streams of water and one day, a cleaner world!

And through this club, friendships are formed. Strong friendships that last through out our teenage years and even after high school life ends. Friends who stick with each other through hard times, and enjoy together through the best of times.
