You’ve seen it before, haven’t you?  Green or yellow goo underneath the soap dispenser.  Maybe not too often because the cleaners get to it before you do.  Well how about this?  No more mess, no more effort to clean up, and more importantly, free soap that can be used to clean the restroom!  Cool eh?

Spotted at the MAS KLIA admin building 3rd floor toilet.

How is this related to being green?  Because these new more fuel efficient Boeings are, as I write, replacing our stalwart 737-400s.  Brand spanking new Boeing Sky Interiors, new more frugal engines and new winglets that reduce drag.  A case of have your cake and eat it too.  Yummy…

The news was picked up by the Wall Street Journal here http://online.wsj.com/article/PR-CO-20110620-903499.html and our local news agency Bernama at http://www.bernama.com/bernama/v5/newsbusiness.php?id=595451

Proudly Displayed For All To See

The banner at the entrance to our Engineering and Maintenance Division in Subang.  All the scrap metal, aluminium and other alloys, and other materials disposed in the course of maintaining our aircrafts, totally recycled.

Those metal detectors you see are so that an overenthusiatic staff member doesn’t sneak off with a piece of equipment or spare part in the name of recycling.  One way in, and the only way out as well.
