Go Green Campaign

Globally today, between 8:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. local time, an event called "Earth Hour" organized by WWF is held all over the world, asking households and businesses to turn off their non-essential lights and other electrical appliances for one hour to raise awareness towards the need to take action on climate change.  Though we love the idea, we thought we can do more than just 1 hour to save the earth and we should start from our daily parenting routines. 

So last week, we held a campaign called "TUM Go Green" where we asked our forum members to submit their simple & unique ideas on how to contribute to our responsibility towards "saving the earth".  We received tremendous amount of ideas and they are really really good!  You may check them all here.  It gave us quite a hard time to pick the winners.  So after a few days going back and forth looking at everyone's submissions, we finally reached a final decision .. and here are the winners:
 
#1 myaiRa

"Sebelum melahirkan -- waktu pengajian 4 bulanan kehamilan -- souvenir pengajian yang dibagikan adalah bibit/pohon gelombang cinta yang masih pitik kecil dengan harapan baby yang saya kandung membawa gelombang cinta bagi dunia ini, salah satunya dengan menambah jumlah pohon yang bisa ditanam para ibu-ibu di daerah rumah saya.

Setelah melahirkan baby aiRa dan mengadakan pengajian 40 harian serta syukuran akikah (potong kambing bagi umat muslim) saya membagikan bibit bunga matahari dengan harapan baby aiRa dapat menyinari kehidupan serta  membawa terang/manfaat bagi dunia.

Dan setiap tanggal kelahiran baby aiRa, saya membelikan baby aiRa berbagai macam pohon tabulampot yang saya sumbangkan ke balai warga untuk dirawat dan membuat balai warga jadi semakin hijau dan asri...."
