Reuse Reduce Recycle!


On 15 September 2012, Saturday morning, 21 volunteers forsake their beloved bed coming
 together for a common purpose - collecting recycled material for the mid-autumn lantern making competition. 
The aim of this project is to promote the use of recycled material and promote community involvement in the environmental effort. . Mr Desmond Lee, adviser to Jurong GRC had also specially come down to give us his support despite his packed schedule. The sharing of his house visit experience and insight of approaching residents had greatly helped us to prepare mentally for the challenges ahead. We were glad to receive very strong support from the Residents of Jurong Spring Zone ‘C’. They had truly surprised us with some of the unexpected items from a packet of 10 brand new neck ties to cordless telephone which are still in their packaging. We managed to interact with the curious residents and some of them even personally brought down their items for us. Thanks to the participants' enthusiasm in our Recycled Material Collection Drive, we had lots of fun and memorable time spent together working hand in hand on a common purpose. Most importantly, we had given the recycled materials a chance to live beyond its purpose. Hope everyone can do their parts in conserving our natural resources by reduce, reuse and recycle. A special thanks to representatives from NTU Nanyang Arts Ensemble(NAE) and Jurong Spring Resident Committee(RC) Zone 'C' for the support.
