Jottings

Visited the people behind WildAsia recently for an article I am writing for The Green Issue of Expatriate Lifestyle. They invited me join their Tree Party and asked me to spread the word. Below is the information on the Tree Party, extracted from their website with permission:

“Plant a Tree for the Planet” is a green event organized by Wild Asia, AMP Radio Networks and its eight radio stations (ERA, MY FM, hitz.fm, MIX fm, LiteFM, SINAR, XFM, THR Raaga) and Friends of Kota Damansara (FOKD). Come join us on June 21st and plant a tree with your favourite radio announcers! Spend a Sunday outdoors with family or friends and support the protection of our green spaces. What’s more, the event will be buzzing with fun-filled activities that you just cannot miss!

Why the Tree Party?

We have grown to take environmental awareness for granted as we only take action on specific days such as Earth Day or World Environmental Day (WED). In most cases, the spirit ends as the day ends. We need to start realizing that being eco-friendly transcends every other day; the purpose of these events does not stop at raising awareness, but to instill and encourage lifelong practices and habits into our daily lives. Only then can we see the positive impacts from the decisions that we make.

Take action now and sign up for the tree planting event! By purchasing your tree today, you get a chance to plant it with your favourite radio announcer during the tree party. Enjoy the day with activities for children and young adults, enter the photography competition, take a guided walk, paddle on the lake or simply chill out with your family and friends while enjoying acoustic performances. Plus, the tree party falls on Father’s Day! Take this opportunity to spend the day with your family and have a blasting good time!
