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.

There has been a change in location for the volunteers' training workshop this Saturday due to unforeseen circumstances. It will be hosted at Dunman High School instead of Hwa Chong Institution. Bus service:30 have to walk a distance 158 alights directly outside Dunman High School Nearest Mrt station Aljunied Mrt Two of our people will be stationed at the control station at Aljunied Mrt at 7.30am to bring the students who don't know how to go. However, they will be leaving at 8am. They will be holding a sign saying DunkIt@Chingay 2009. The volunteer management team has personally contacted the 13 YEGs through email and sms. Timing & Programme has not changed. Attached is the map to Dunman High for those students whose parents are driving. Sincere apologies for the inconvenience caused.

Oh well, I have tried my best to rectify the problem. Hope I did the right thing. I kept thinking of Public Relations and Corporate Image. I think I am corrupted by my lecturers. Don't know if it is a good thing..

This is Keshia wondering why she went into Mass Comm instead of Integrated Events & Projects Management o_O 'O' Level results released today. Good Luck! JAE starting soon. Make the right choice so you won't live a lifetime of regrets.
