Aljunied-Hougang Town Council organised an inaugural ‘Let’s Paint the Town Green Carnival,’ a sustainability initiative to mark World Recycling Day on Saturday, 18th March. The event, open to all members of the public, aimed to educate residents on mindful ways to practice sustainability.
Some of the carnival games were targeted at teaching residents how to practice sustainability properly. In one such game, players had to correctly sort out which category of bins each item goes into. Eco-artists also hosted booths and had the opportunity to share their creations with the public and educate them on turning their trash into treasure.
“I don’t think one event in and of itself will suddenly lead to a new mindset. But I think like most things in life when we want to change behaviours, change culture, change patterns, awareness is important. For town council, these activities are part of that process to raise awareness and encourage evolution towards a more green-conscious constituency and community,” said Pritam Singh.
