One Million Apologies to Mother Earth

On 8th August 2009, after weeks of effort by PAC volunteers, it culminates in the throwing of 200,000 EM Mudballs into Gurney Drive in a bid to Bioremediate the swamp-like seafront. This is just the beginning, PAC, together with EM Admins & the community of Penang will strive to bring back the shine to our waterways and seafronts. Keep a lookout on more EM & Bioremediation activities.

One Million Apologies to Mother Earth

Hi all

Thanks to your efforts, PAC members and friends managed to achieve our pledge to make 50k EM Mudballs. Overall Penangites managed to exceed the target of 1Million EM Mudballs.

This Saturday, 8th August 2009, at 8am Gurney Drive (Sunrise/ McD end) there will be a EM Mudball throwing ceremony to commemorate our achievements. An initial 200k EM Mudballs will be throw into Gurney Drive beachfront (which is turning into a swamp) – and we hope in a few months time we will get back the beauty of  our beloved icon.

So do turn up to celebrate your efforts and help us throw the EM Mudballs into Gurney Drive this Saturday as the first of our Apology to Mother Earth.

PAC Members who wish to turn up, pls wear a PAC T-shirt.

Regards
