Earth Day Plant Giveaway: Save Earth, Save Life, Protect Our Wildlife Species with The Body Shop

What did you do on Earth Day? The Body Shop Malaysia celebrated Earth Day by giving away 1,000 saplings at Pavilion Kuala Lumpur. It was The Body Shop Malaysia’s fifth year in giving away free tree saplings, collaborating with Free Tree Society to encourage Malaysians to commit to a greener environment. This year, aside from improving our environment, the event also focused on protecting our wildlife species such as the Malayan tiger that are critically endangered.

The Body Shop teamed up with Free Tree Society to distribute free tree saplings of 18 different species at Pavilion Kuala Lumpur. Plants were given out to members of the public with The Body Shop employees and Free Tree Society volunteers explaining how to care for the plant that they chose to adopt.

At this year’s free plant giveaway, The Body Shop Malaysia also partnered with ZKE Recycle for an upcycling workshop for customers (old glass fragrance bottles from The Body Shop were used to make oil lamps).

During the event, The Body Shop along with Wildlife Conservation Society collected signatures to save the Malayan tigers. The Body Shop launched a petition campaign to call upon our government to send 2,000 army personnel to patrol Peninsular Malaysia Rainforests. 

There are only 200 tigers left, we urge all Malaysians to support this campaign to prevent our Malayan tigers from imminent extinction and to increase our tiger population. You can show their support by signing the petition in any of The Body Shop stores or online at www.thebodyshop.com.my/only200tigersleft. 

The Body Shop encourages every individual to take part in creating a sustainable and greener environment by planting a tree, re-using and recycling products as well as educating the younger generation about the importance of caring for the environment.
