Abstract

Recently, interest in volunteerism focused on environmental sustainability has grown dramatically due to the alarming environmental issues such as global warming, foreign waste and greenhouse gases effects. A greenery club, namely Kelab Bumi Hijau (KBH) which consists of volunteering students led by Majlis Felow Kolej Tuanku Canselor (MFKTC), Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM) has been set up in 2017 to monitor and improve the greenery particularly within Kolej Tuanku Canselor (KTC). Several activities have been carried out by KBH such as picking up litter, clearing unwanted shrubs and planting trees. This study is carried out to evaluate the relevance of KBH to the greenery of KTC. In addition, the challenges faced by KBH and their future plans are also highlighted. The results show that the greenery club namely KBH has not only enhanced the greenery and environment of KTC, but also cultivated volunteerism among the students. Although the data presented apply only to KTC, we believe that the volunteerism to sustain the greenery should be carried out in all residential college in UTM.
