• This step however is pending for approval because of an unavoidable matter.
• However negotiations has been made.

3. The Unintended Earth Day Campaign

• In the beginning before we did our actual actions, we interviewed the Penghulu who was in charge of the Villages we chose. During the interview we had a normal discussion and the Penghulu actually agreed on supporting our project. He did this verbally during the interview in which he promise to organise a cleaning campaign to reduce the rubbish in the river at the present as well as promoting certain strategies to prevent rubbish pollution in sungai Brunei in the future.
• This event occurred on Tuesday  (21st April 2009). The event had a great support from the public especially the villagers as well as the private sectors and the government.

4. Creating Public Awareness Through Photography

• Realizing that education is a very important approach in creating awareness as well as preventing rubbish pollution from occurring in the future, a river cruise were conducted by a club which is under our management i.e. El Legua de Retratista Fotografia.
