Eco-friendly Mall



Kuching city has a new mall! A small mall! Yay!

GREEN HEIGHTS SMALL MALL! :D

Possible tenants would be:
Guardian
Magic bite
Desserts
Seagull Drugstore
Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf WTF? WHY?
IT Fusion
Computer Tots & Computer Explores
Kartini Fine Linens & Home Accessories
New Capital Optical Centre Group
Sheer Unique
Myblueberrybox
Sisters Crispy Popiah
M+ Enterprise
Silver Point
Hair Do
and more to come! :D

I know it's not a place for you to get new jeans or new shoes. But definitely a good place for grocery shopping, which I splurge most on.

Besides that, this small mall is having a green campaign. They have recycling signs on the walls!(Sorry, I had to take the pictures quickly because people were staring at me. I was very, umm over excited. LOL)


They even have mini recycling stations inside and outside the mall. Finally, a mall that is eco-friendly! The cashier even ask me to use my own shopping bag or plastic? Now, how awesome is that. (Note: This woman lining up in front of me brings her own bag, the stupid thing is that she uses plastic first, and then carry it in the shopping bag. Now, how useless is that?) For those that are still new in this area and doesn't own a shopping bag, they are availabe in Cold Storage for a very affordable price. RM2.79 to be exact.


Plus, the prominent atrium glass roof allows natural lighting into the mall. Superrr.


"Green Heights Mall holds tree-planting ceremony

By Victor Lim

KUCHING: Green Heights Mall held a tree-planting ceremony near its main entrance yesterday to commemorate World Earth Day.

Its executive director, David Hilton Smith, in his speech at the event, said tree-planting was a valuable activity that people undertook to help Mother Earth.

He explained the importance of trees in contributing to the environment and it was the responsibility of mankind to protect the environment.

Earth Day is an annual event celebrated worldwide in appreciation of the Mother Earth, nature and wildlife."

This might just be the coolest store ever! :D


And Cold Storage is awesome too. If you're a big fan of organic food. This might be your coolest supermarket too. Although, we all know organic is expensive, very expensive. For those of you that doesn't mind buying a Stonyfield Farm Yogurt, please do so. No toxic, no chemicals. Good for the environment. But if you think twice, the process of getting those imported products into our country must've used a lot of energy. Shipping, yada, yada. You know, I'll stick with local products. But I'll surely get my hands on those Stonyfield Farm thingies.



I'm still a bit pissed they picked Coffee Bean instead of Starbucks. :(

Somehow, this place reminds me of Whole Foods. Umm, yeah.
