About 50 students and teachers from SMK Bandar, Bintulu, Kai Dee and Kidurong attended the talk held at the LAKU Bintulu Area Office on saturday afternoon as part of the CABEP 2011.

Mr Benjamin Toh from sarawak Energy Berhad talked about why we should conserve energy as well as how we can all do it in our daily lives. He also brought gifts for students who paid attention to his talk and who could provide answers to the questions he asked at the end of his talk. The students from SMK Bandar paid the most attention and were rewarded for their efforts. The students and interactors were challenged to take on the project of reducing their respective school's utility bills.

Mr Chang Kuet Shian, LAKU Area Manager talked about Water Conservation, explaining why we shoudl not take water for granted and also giving practical tips on how we can conserve and not waste water. He emphasized the importance of everyone being responsible for maintaining the resources and facilities that we all enjoy. The fact arose that school toilets are not as clean as home toilets even though the same people use these facilities. Schools are places where we educate our children on proper behaviour and teach them to be responsible citizens. Therefore, the cleanliness of the school toilets is a reflection of how civilised our school children are.

Everyone was impressed by the state of cleanliness of the public toilets at the LAKU office whose management strongly emphasizes collective responsibility.

The Interactors were again thrown the tough challenge of how to improve the conditions of their school toilets and to maintain the facility to always be in a clean condition.

LAKU management also very kindly provided nice refrashments for all who attended the talk.

So now the ball is in the court of the students and we do hope that they will rise to the challenges that has been given them.
