In celebration of UN Environment Day, Soroptimist International Region of Malaysia (SIROM) together with Heineken Malaysia, Sokong by Malaysiakini, hosted Sustainability Day 2025 at GCC Farm, Bentong. The event promoted eco-friendly practices through hands-on workshops on aquaponics farming and organic composting - practical, low-carbon solutions to food security and environmental challenges.
Aligned with the UN Environment Day theme “Our Land. Our Future. We Are #GenerationRestoration,” the initiative brought together community members, environmental advocates, and volunteers to inspire sustainable living.
Participants engaged in hands-on workshops, educational demonstrations, and community dialogues, making it a meaningful day of learning, collaboration, and action. This effort reflects the spirit of the 2025 UN Environment Day theme:
“Our Land. Our Future. We Are #GenerationRestoration.”
“Sustainability Day is about more than awareness—it’s about action,” said Rebecca Lai, President of SIROM. “Aquaponics and composting provide scalable, low-carbon impact solutions to food waste, water conservation, and urban farming challenges. These practices demonstrate how communities can take charge of their own sustainability.”
