JARO green living

22 October 2011

Johore Area Rehabilitation Organization (JARO) organized an event where many organizations came together to promote green living.

Products and concepts were showcased to promote a lifestyle that is kinder to nature.

Products such as DIY soaps, lunch boxes made from sugar cane bulk and a waste disposal machine that we helps convert our food leftovers into fertilizers.

Johor Green offers a new concept that eliminate the middle man from the distribution of vegetables,  directly from the farm to the consumers.  Consumers finally have a say in how their vegetables are grown.

Malaysian Nature Society Johor Branch (MNSJ) was there to promote their activities which include bird watching, scuba diving, mountain climbing and cycling.  MNSJ’s chairman Vincent Chow hopes to educate our children not fear the jungle.
