OVER 95 children was inducted as Junior Green Corps in conjunction with the “Green Heroes Unite” event at Tropicana City Mall recently.

Organised by Mypartners Communications and EcoKnights, Green Heroes Unite was aimed at creating greater environmental awareness and inspire the community to take action in their everyday lives.

Grand prize winner, Annie Liang Siew Chin, 12, walked home with a Jasa Eco hamper and Green Lantern movie premiums worth RM1,200.

Contestants aged between nine and 12 were required to don a green superhero costume and share green ideas on stage.

As part of the Junior Green Corps, the members will receive regular updates and invitations to participate in various green initiatives such as tree-planting and beach-cleaning.

“We are proud to be the official sponsor of the Green Heroes Unite event. This is a great opportunity for the public to get involved and learn about how to live a greener, more eco-friendly lifestyle.

“It is inspiring to see children take to the stage and share their green ideas. This reminds us that conserving the environment is everyone’s responsibility,” said Jasa Eco senior manager Douglas Tan.
