Organised by UCSI Extension in collaboration with the Natural Resources and Environmental Board ( NREB), the workshop will be held at UCSI Hotel Kuching from 9am- 5pm on Tuesday and Wednesday (April 3- 4).
“The topics to be discussed during the workshop among others includes ‘Why Green Living?’, ‘Cost Effective Waste Management’, ‘Saving Money with Energy Efficiency’, ‘Healthy Green Workplace’ and much more,” UCSI Hotel Kuching event manager Alexis Elvina Langgie told The Borneo Post yesterday.
