To the End of the Earth: Jinjang Utara!
Looks like we'll have to try try and find this Taman Beringing place where the dumpsite is. I found a few articles online here and there pointing to this particular dumpsite, which apparently houses the rubbishes of the people living in KL and its surrounds. Apparently the mountains are as high as 80m above sea level wor... dunnolar i opened so many sites I also get lost. :P
Eitherway, I found this very USELESS map showing the whereabouts of the dump site:
Anyhoo, I checked my roadmap, and I can't find this Taman Beringin, unless it's in Melaka. But agak-agak, since some sites say the dumpsite pollutes the Jinjang River, so I sort of narrowed it down somewhere here:
Not too sure, but since the lake is just at the bottom of that empty space, so I'm guessing it's PROBABLY there lar. Not too sure. Since Jo-an's mother said can smell the place, I guess we'll just have to follow our noses then.
Cripes... waking up early on a Saturday morning just to go look for dump. Oh joy... *rolls eyes*

things to do now...
hehehe... my bad lar ricky... i've sent a few emails to different people that i think could help. only one of them replied. she's annie from nst. she also told me to contact alam flora. we should just get all our sources from alam flora lar. that should be enough right? the main thing about the movie is to convince them that there's a problem mah. so we'll just film and interview alam flora. then if possible, get those people staying near that area and see does the garbage affect their health lor okie? anyway, just found out that even jusco (the greenish one specifically) plastic bag is bio-degradable. my mum found out when it "turn dusty" (like dissolving like that). then when i go read properly, the bottom part says it's biodegradable. cool leh?! could you get the stats of waste malaysians produce in a day or something like that? tried searching but couldn't find. so basically what we need to do now is to...
1. get hold of alam flora
2. get stats of waste produced
3. get hold of citizens staying near garbage
4. start interviewing people about the crap
after this movie, we'll start on our 4 steps okie? oh yeah! please pick a name lar! since you hate my pyramid so much! >.<>

Alam Flora
Dunno why you never put contact info about Alam Flora, eventhough your newsletters all got mention Alam Flora in them. Heheh...
Anyways, I did some checking, and yup, Alam Flora is quite into the recycling business. It's not specifically plastic bags, but I assume (and hope) they have some knowledge about it. I know they have one Recycling Centre in Midvalley at the carpark there, but went to their website and found out they have way way a lot more all over. We could probably go to the Midvalley one (open everyday except Thursday) or the Subang Jaya Carrefour one (open Wed to Sun). They are both open from 10am to 5pm, with a lunch break from 12-1pm (except Friday, which is 1-3pm for Carrefour). They have nearer ones to college, but they are only open during select days in the weekend, so a bit the mahfan.
You can check out more information about them (including the Recycling Centres timetable) at the following website:

Alam Flora is closer to us, so better lor. Your contact list below got until Penang summore... Like very the far right?? =P

RM200 million to be spenton recycling waste over 20 yearsNew Straits Times, Thursday, December 12, 2002
By Annie Freeda Cruzanniefc@nstp.com.my
KUALA LUMPUR , Wed. - A total of RM200 million will be spent by the Government and Alam Flora over the next 20 years to recycle garbage which is expected to reach over seven million tones a year by then.
Alam Flora chief executive officer Mohamed Sirij Abdul Razack said more mobile recycling units would be sent out to residential areas, commercial centers and industrial sites.
The units will collect recyclable waste from the public, weigh and make payment according to market rate.
Alam Flora has set a recycling target of 22 per cent, from the current three per cent, for areas under its jurisdiction - Selangor, Pahang, Putrajaya, Kuala Lumpur , and later, Kelantan and Terengganu.
Siraj said the 20 landfills in existence would be full by 2005, while the proposed incinerator in Semenyih would only be operational in 2006.
Waste generated is expected to increase from 3.2 million to 7.7 million tones a year, in 20 years.
Recyclable goods include newspapers, magazines, books, carton boxes, mixed papers, aluminum cans, metal tin and cans, glass bottles and jars, plastic bottles and mixed plastics.
Siraj told the New Straits Times today that the allocation is for its 20 year master plan, which concentrates on public education on recycling and setting up of recycling centers and mobile units.
Alam Flora had launched a recycling pilot project a year ago by sending out mobile units to 517 schools, 75 industries and commercial centers and 102 residential areas.
The people need to bring their recyclables in plastic bags to the recycling centers or mobile units.
"We will weigh and pay them accordingly for the goods," he said.
Siraj said that staff also gave talks on the importance of recycling to schoolchildren, house owners, residents' associations, industries and owner of business outlets and offices.
The response has been good but it would take time to make recycling a habit.
Siraj added that Alam Flora was also working to get companies which buy and process recyclables to join the programmed, so that they could collect the items on the spot.
"This will be a win-win situation for the people, Alam Flora and companies recycling waste items," he said.
He said Alam Flora was distributing pamphlets and leaflets to people in their concession areas, to inform them of this "bring system", and on their pick-up programmed.
"The programmed has done well in Subang Jaya, Damansara and Kota Kemuning (all in Selangor) and in Kuamtan," he said.
Alam Flora currently handles one million tones of waste annually in Kuala Lumpur , and two million tones in Selangor and Pahang.
"We are also in the midst of equipping all our transfer stations with recycling centers," he said, adding that the stations are in Taman Beringin, Kajang and Shah Alam.
Alam Flora is planning to build another 24 transfer stations in Selangor, Kula Lumpur and Pahang soon.
