Rawang, October 25th - BROS & Waterfall Survivors joined tenth of thousands global communities from over 150 countries in a symbolic Save Our Waterfalls (SOW) Campaign at Kanching Waterfalls, Rawang. The objectives of the event are to clean up the waterfall and to support 350.org in this global day of climate action.

Held simultaneously with over 2,000 events around the globe, the event was a part of a Global Day of Actions coordinated by 350.org to urge world leaders to take bold and immediate steps to address climate change and reduce carbon emissions.

With the support from Tourism Selangor, this auspicious campaign is officiated by YB Edward Lee Poh Lin, Assistant Exco Tourism, Environmental and Public Affairs of Selangor State Government.

"We in Tourism Selangor will give our full commitment to support this program as well as other program that shares the same objective in saving our environment. This is also important for Tourism Selangor as it can play a pivotal role in promoting and bringing forward the eco-tourism in Selangor" said YB Edward Lee during the opening address.

The auspicious event was endorsed and supported by the Selangor State Government, Tourism Selangor, Majlis Perbandaran Selayang and Jabatan Pertahanan Awam Malaysia, Selangor.

Waterfall Survivors members, total of 400 members have collected almost 500 bags of rubbish from the waterfalls during that day. All these rubbish are left by the irresponsible picnickers and campers.

Around the world today - from capitol cities to the melting slopes of Mount Everest, even underwater on dying coral reefs - communities held rallies aimed at focusing attention on the number 350. In recent years, scientists have insisted that 350 parts per million is the most carbon dioxide we can safely have in the atmosphere. The current CO2 concentration is 390 parts per million.

"People have said the science of global warming is too confusing for average citizens to understand but yesterday's events proved that millions of people understood exactly what is at stake in the next few years, and that they wanted swift action to safeguard the future," says 350.org founder Bill McKibben in a Press Statement posted in the organization's official website http://www.350.org

ABOUT 350.ORG

Founded by author and environmentalist Bill McKibben, 350.org is the first large-scale grassroots global campaign against climate change. Its supporters include leading scientists, governments of 92 countries, and a huge variety of environmental, health, development and religious NGOs.

All agree that current atmospheric levels of CO2-390 parts per million-are causing damage to the planet and to its most vulnerable people, and that government action at the Copenhagen climate conference is required to bring the earth's carbon level swiftly down to 350 ppm.

"That's why glaciers and sea ice are melting, drought is spreading, and flooding is on the increase. Thus why we need a huge worldwide movement to give us the momentum to make real political change. Our leaders have heard from major corporations and big polluters for a long time. Today, finally, they heard from citizens and scientists," says McKibben.

350.org - a global alliance of faith groups, NGOs, trade unions and over a million individuals calling for a fair, ambitious, and binding international climate change treaty.
