OBJECTIVES

1. To act as enforcers during the shows to remind the public to take ownership and dispose off their own litter

2. To do a ground littering survey and access the conditions of the environment

REASONS FOR LITTERING

reason one
by accident

Many people drop their trash with a slip of hand.

reason two
mindset

When one person throws on the floor, the others will follow, and soon people will think that it is okay to litter since everyone else did.

reason three
Filled rubbish bin/ No rubbish bin in sight

Rubbish bins may be filled but no cleaners are around to clear, therefore trash spills out of the bin and dirtying the area around. When no bins are in sight, people also tend to throw their trash on the floor because of convenience


hey people. face the fact.
should there even be excuses
for your litter on the floor? dont kid us.
do your part. STOP LITTERING.
SAVE PLANET EARTH
(and yourself in the process)

BACKGROUND INFO

At almost every major outdoor event in Singapore, spectators and performers alike generally do not consider maintaining the cleanliness of the event venues as one of their top priorities. Often, after the show or the activity has ended, Singaporeans leave the event premises in filthy and unsightly conditions, leaving the cleaning up to ‘someone else’. To redress such attitudes, ECO Singapore has identified Singaporean youth as key agents in cultivating proper environmental behaviour in Singaporeans.

As the future stakeholders of Singapore, our youths should and would want a clean and green future in which to live, work and play. Such motivation should make them concerned about the current state of cleanliness of Singapore’s public spaces. To help Singaporean youths crystallise their environmental concern into meaningful actions, ECO Singapore has developed the “ECO Youth Champions”(EYCs) initiative. This initiative will mobilise Singaporean youth to make sure that their family members and the public dispose of their trash properly in major outdoor events. The EYCs initiative will thus empowered our youth to directly influence their families and the public to do their part in protecting our environment.

Yesterday marks DunkIt@NDP08 Volunteers' Appreciation Night where the organising committee and EYMs were invited to this gathering. It was sort of a potluck where everyone contributes by bringing some food and sharing among ourselves. Not many people came, but it was enough to have a party. The programme was a simple one - dinner, movies, chatting, playing and the most important of all, having fun! I'm sure everyone enjoys themselves tremendously. This event kinda brings a closure to NDP and a new start to DunkIt@Chingay09! Pictures will be uploaded another day.
Today marks a brand new beginning for DunkIt@Chingay09! We had our very first meeting at ECOsphere where Joycelyn from People's Association and Xue Bing from NEA were invited to sit in our meeting. Joycelyn briefed us about the operations regarding Chingay so that we could be more clear in our planning. We also clarified our doubts. I believe that with a great committee like ours, we will have fun working together towards a common goal. Keep it up, guys! Thank you for turning up today and making an effort to be punctual :) Here's to the 4 months of teamwork! The meeting minutes, contact list and the agenda for next meeting will be sent out soon.
