Thaipusam is the biggest festival for Hindus after Diwali and usually falls in January or February. In Malaysia, celebrations take place on a grand scale at the Batu Caves attracting millions of devotees and tourists each year. As you can imagine, with such large crowds come large amounts of garbage. Hence, since 2010, under the request of the Selayang municipal council, Tzu Chi volunteers of the Kuala Lumpur and Selangor Chapter have been spreading the practice of recycling at the event.
在屠妖節過後，另外一個年度重要節慶就是大寶森節，通常是在1月與2月之間，在馬來西亞，各地印度人都會在黑風洞慶祝節日，每一年吸引超過百萬名信徒和遊客參與盛會，但您也可以想像，留下來的堆積成山的垃圾。在2010年，當地士拉央市議會開始邀請慈濟雪隆分會，投入環保教育，讓信徒和遊客都能一起愛護環境的整潔。
