A city-wide #plantlifefromplastic campaign is underway in Kuching, Sarawak, to collect 1,500 units of 1.5L plastic bottles for the Urban Green Pockets Project organised by Borneo Laboratory.

These bottles will be converted into planters for a community garden and food bank in the heart of the city, at the old Ting & Ting supermarket premises.
