TRADERS at Chowrasta Market in George Town, Penang, have lauded the effort by the state government to reduce organic waste at the market in the hope of becoming the greenest state in Malaysia by 2030.

They said the way they dumped waste from their stalls has changed since they participated in the programme called Project WE organised by Arts-ED, a Penang-based non-profit organisation, in May.
