The Green Experiment



This is probably our first experiment. Well, our paper supplier was kind enough to supply us with it.

We thought that this so called green paper technology would never arrive here in Malaysia. But it did. And we were thrilled. What the supplier did was to fabricate a few pieces of recyclable paper and crush a few packets of seedlings in the midst of the process. The result, you get a few sheets of paper with crushed seedlings in it. And the good news is, you can plant that piece of paper after you've used it. So the more paper you use, the more trees you'll be planting. Isn't it brilliant.

The Greenbuddies decided to experiment with this piece of paper that the supplier gave. We got ourselves a small flower pot and planted the paper. And so it began, the Buddies' first experiment.

We watered the plant for 2 weeks and we saw its tiny little leaves sprouting from the soil (well, actually there were only two tiny leaves). We were thrilled. And it felt good to have grown something. At least for some of the Buddies.

Sadly, a certain Buddy forgot to water the plant for 3 days. The plant died.

So we're starting the experiment again. Hopefully this time, no one forgets to water the plant.

We'll be updating you on the progress of the experiment.

Thank You Conqueror paper for supplying us with the paper. Now we know how it's done, we'll spread the technique to other eco-conscious citizens.
