HUNDREDS of people made their way to Taman Tugu, a park right in the heart of Kuala Lumpur, to celebrate World Environment Day last month.

Jointly organised by Taman Tugu and sustainability foundation Yayasan Hasanah, visitors to the June 21 event were encouraged to bring their own containers in line with its zero waste concept and theme “Beat Plastic Pollution”.
