Learn To Recycle Kitchen Waste...... on March 26, 2011

THE convenient way to discard used cooking oil is to pour it down the sink, but this will clog up the pipes and drains.

To learn how to recycle the grease, kitchen and garden waste, head to the sixth Organic Day on March 26.

The event, scheduled to be held from 8.30am to 2pm at the park located on Jalan 2/63, is organised by the Centre for Environment, Technology & Development (Cetdem) in collaboration with Slow Food Klang Valley, Petaling Jaya City Council (MBPJ), Local Agenda 21 Petaling Jaya, SS2 Selatan Residents Association and Rukun Tetangga SS2B.

Visitors can also pick up tips on detoxification, how to whip up simple, healthy yet tasty meals, make eco-enzymes and learn about slow food concept.

Local producers and traders will be on hand to offer fresh produce and organic items to the consumers too.

A wide range of organic items — fruits and vegetables, seedlings, homemade bread and personal care products — will be on sale.

To learn more about organic lifestyle and sustainable living, visitors can sign up for future farm and garden visits, baking and cooking, farming and gardening classes organised by Cetdem.

MBPJ development planning director Noraini Roslan said they were expecting 3,000 visitors at the event.

Admission is free and visitors are reminded to bring along their own shopping bags and food containers.
