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.

This is officially a new day - 12AM. Tada! A blog post as I promised Yingling to update everyday without fail regardless of how many projects I have. I do not go back on my promise.

Timeline for 30th and 31st
1500 – 1530 Registration
1530 – 1600 Briefing
1600 – 1800 Mobile games activity
1800 – 1830 Report back
1830 – 1930 Dinner
1930 – 2030 Mobile bin activity.
2030 – 2100 Debrief

Excuse letters for students have been sent out. DHS has not gotten back to me. Gotta double check if JWS wants to be excused for the whole day on 30Jan cos logistics will be affected. Hopefully, the co-chairman has come up with the answers to the tough questions posed by me. A contact of the contractor has already been passed to him. It is now up to him to get things rolling. It is not that I am evil and want to challenge the chairman. It is better to be safe than sorry. What if it rained on that day and the designs for the stationary bins get wet? What if we don’t have enough time and manpower to decorate the stationary bins on the actual day? Bear in mind that only HCI students have no school on that day. There are so many what ifs. We should be prepared for as many as them as possible. We don’t want to look unprepared in front of the public. We want to look PROFESSIONAL. There is simply no reason why we shouldn’t do our best, since we already put in so much effort in planning.

If we fail to plan, we plan to fail. This is the one thing I remembered out of a four hour lecture. Pretty cool advice. Play of words and truth in it.

This is Keshia mad at her lecturer for putting a test on 30Jan late afternoon >:[
