My green, your green, our green.

Modern technological innovations and development add hues to our living cultures but we cannot deny the fact that such modern innovations are also banes to our living environment. So, have we been able to keep the environment as clean and healthy as it was, when our ancestors walked the earth? The answer definitely "NO".

Let's us take a closer look around us. It is very common to see rubbish are surrounding the rubbish bins, water are being contaminated, toxic fumes and smokes being emitted for the exhaust pipes of motor vehicles and funnels of factories and many others more. So, they are definitely many reasons for us, as citizen of the earth, to care for our environment, before the situation becomes irreparable.
Simple STEPS that we can take to preserve our environment in our daily life :
  • Encourage the use of more natural products instead of chemicals. When we shop for any cleaning product, we should look for those saying that they are non-toxic and are environmental friendly.
  • Shop with recycling bag instead of using paper or plastic bag.
  • Use only electrical appliances when you need them.
  • Reuse items like bags and container when possible.
  • Practicing the 3R's (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle). Learn how to separate waste and use the recycle bins properly
  • Develop a habit of carpool when we travel.
  • Set your refrigerator temperature at 36 to 38 and freezer at 0 to 5.
Continuous apathy to environmental issues will lead to fatal results on our earth. So, it is better to take action now rather than just saying. Ladies and gentlemen, start joining and support YELLUE..!!


What is YELLUE ??

Yellue! will be launched on 10 November 2010, Wednesday at 10a.m. at the UTAR Perak campus cafeteria in Block C. The Dean of Faculty of Arts and Social Science (FAS), Dr. Sebastian and Deputy Dean of FAS, Ms. Eng May Chuen will be invited to launch the event.

Yellue! is hoped to actively Engage UTAR students through strategic experiential activities - Yellue! Hunt and mini competitions such as costume-designing with recycled materials. To leverage on social media, two other competitions will be held simultaneously which are creative blogging and creative video-making that spreads the message of individual responsibility for a greener tomorrow. By engaging them through fun learning Experience, it is hoped that this message will be ingrained in students’ minds and they will continue to Spread and advocate the green message.


The highlight event will be the Yellue! Hunt where UTAR students get to experience active and fun education about saving the environment. During the Yellue! Hunt, participants takes on the role as ambassadors by wearing the green message on their Yellue! t-shirt and carrying recycled message boards during the entire course of the hunt. The day will end with a prize-giving ceremony for winners of the Yellue! Hunt and the mini competitions.
