During the event, industrialists would be given opportunities to display their environmentally friendly products, she said at the pre-launch of the Greenright events.

"We still have time to improve our life style, in order to make our planet a safer place for future generation.s The life style must look at the environment," Bintang said.
Various activities such as a student day, green job fair, and GBC Indonesia free session would be held on the conference`s sidelines.
