On the 31st of July, Leo Jocelyn and Leo Cindy had attended Leo Club of Union High school which is our sister club EM Mud ball making project at their school canteen.
We went there together with DVP Ch'ng Kok Sheng, and Leo Kwang Min Xiang and Leo Teoh Him Keat from Penang City. This is to show our greatest support to the sister club's Leos.
What is EM ??
E.M. is an abbreviation for EFFECTIVE MICROORGANISMS Microorganisms are tiny units of life that are too small to be seen with the naked eye and they exist everywhere in nature. Microorganisms are crucial for maintaining the ecological balance. They carry out chemical processes that make it possible for all other organisms including humans to live. There are friendly guys of the microbial worlds known as beneficial microorganisms and a not so friendly group called pathogens that are harmful and capable of producing disease, decay and pollution. Learn more here on EM and What is EM?
The EM Mud balls are useful as one of the environmental solutions towards reducing water pollutants and thus improving water quality in our rivers and drains. The fermentation emitted from the mud balls will alleviate or destroy the ammonia nitrogen found in human effluents and sewerage leakages into the water system. These mud balls will be drop at Parit 4 near Desa Damai Bukit Mertajam which is a very seriously polluted waterway. The exercise will be carried out every 4 months.
Any NGOs and groups who are keen to learn on how to make EM Mud Balls can contact Mr Chew Eng Seng of MPSP at +6012 4779330.
