Everyone knows recycling means less trash going to our landfills. But the greatest environmental benefits of recycling are related not to landfills, but to the conservation of energy and natural resources and the prevention of pollution when a recycled material, rather than a raw material, is used to make a new product.
Why use a valuable material or product once, and then place it in your trash to be buried in a landfill or incinerated? Instead, divert that material for recycling, and capture the energy and resources already used to make that product. Since recycled materials have been refined and processed once, manufacturing the second time around is much cleaner and less energy-intensive than the first.

How Setenang plays its role in the community:

* Setenang is more than a place – it’s a group of beautiful people!

* It’s an organisation of like-minded people who want to work together in serving the spiritual needs of the community around us.

* We don’t come to work for Setenang; but come together to work for the community. Setenang is just a platform for us to function as a group effectively.
