Largest Flag made out of Mineral Water Bottles

Saving the environment by adopting the greener path seems to have convinced many of us.Recycling  and reusing the waste has started gaining momentum.However we need to be more collective in our effort towards conservation of natural resources and sustained development.Many non government organisations, private public partnerships and governmental interferences and support shall help in reducing the effects of global warming.

But however for these movements to gain wider acceptance staging a world record event can prove to be twice as beneficial. Malaysian Volunteer Fire & Rescue Association (MVFRA) and the Ue3 Shopping complex in Kuala Lumpur created a a 24.4m X 12.2m flag from 12,866 empty mineral water bottles which sets the world record for the Largest flag made out of mineral water bottles.All the bottles were stuffed with recycled  colour paper of blue,yellow and red.

The Malaysian Volunteer Fire & Rescue Association (MVFRA) aimed to encourage  recycling , inculcate the volunteering spirit and patriotism.The attempt was made unique as it had mass participation.

This step was initiated also to mark  the 42nd National Day celebration of the country.So this was the best occassion to address environment issues and prove to the world about Malaysia's support to nurture the nature.

So the National celebration kicked off by arranging the mineral water bottles in the form of the Malaysian flag containing the colours yellow,red,blue and white.This depicts that the entire country supports and practices recycling,reusing and reducing waste.

The good step did not go a waste either.It took the notice of the World Record Adjudicators to declare the event as the Largest Flag made of mineral water bottles.

The Largest Flag made of mineral water bottles was set by MVFRA at Kuala Lumpur,Malaysia on March 10,2009.
