ON A sunny weekday morning, a group of volunteers are busily picking up litter on the side of the road in a quiet neighbourhood of Kota Damansara, Petaling Jaya.

Wong Ee Lynn, a Kota Damansara Community Forest Society (KDCFS) committee member, is leading the pack at Kota Damansara Forest Reserve lake, mostly comprising retirees armed with rubbish-picking sticks and recycling bags.
