Recycling Challenge

The recycling challenge, conducted in conjunction with Conservation Month, was a game where participants are all given a bag filled with both recyclable and non-recyclable items. They would be given exactly 60 seconds to sort the items into the 2 different black bins in front of them, mainly the recyclable and non-recyclable.

On the actual day itself, there were a total of 30 participants who took part in the recycling challenge which I thought was a very good start in spreading the knowledge of sorting out their rubbish before throwing them into the chute. The rubbish would then be sent to the incinerator plants in Singapore to be burned and deposited at Pulau Semakau. On the second day, there were a total of 14 participants. Although there were not many people who participate, I still think that it is a good try.

Overall, I feel that this recycling challenging was a good one as we were able to promote recycling through this game. It was also a meaningful game which I believe that most of the participant would feel and the top scorer for this game was 36 out of 37.

I personally look forward to this game again in the future.

 

 

Recycling carnival games booth

For the recycling carnival booths, we had various activities going on together with the energy and nature sub-groups activities. We had 4 booths while 1 other activity going on on stage. For the 4 booths, we were aiming for creating awareness for the environment through games such as jigsaw puzzles, crossword puzzles, word search and “spot the difference”.

 

For all the games, each of them had a meaning behind them. The word search - it was to find words related to recycling or conserving. By doing so, some people might get more familiar to the words commonly used for recycling such as reduce, reuse, and recycle. For the next game, “spot the difference”, players were asked to identify the recyclable or non – recyclable items in the picture.

This mini game would familiarize the students on what can be recycled, what cannot be recycled. The last game comprises of jigsaw puzzles which are made from recyclable material and with pictures which carries a conservation message.

Lastly we had the crossword puzzle where the questions would give the students some knowledge on conservation. The response towards our 2 days event was better than expected and we probably had fulfilled our objectives in doing this as more and more people came and support our booths.

Ever thought of conservation ideas that you think are brilliant but have no clue where to realise it? Hear from our very own RP Conservation IG students how their participation in two separate Bayer international youth environmental programs has transformed them. Mr Jasper Soh (final year DENV student, SAS- President, Conservation IG 08/09) was one of the Bayer Young Environmental Envoys. He will share with you his experience from the week-long program in Germany. Ms Jackeline Tay (final year DMTS student, SAS –Publicity Manager, Conservation IG 08/09) was one of the Singapore representatives in the Eco-Minds Youth Forum. She will share with you her experience from the program in New Zealand. Other Conservation IG students will also share with you what is in store for you during the Annual Conservation Month held in August 2009.

 

Recently, we had a trip to Sungei Buloh which was held on 12th June 2009. During the trip we saw a lot of things that we have never encountered in our busy life in the urban area. So, we took our time to appreciate the nature and took a lot of pictures of it. This is the main purpose of our trip and we even gave extra 1 DA of CE points for the submission of photos + 100 words.

Here are some of the pictures taken during the trip.
