Happy Earth Day!
Earth Day is celebrated to raise awareness on environmental issues. With the looming threat of climate change and global warming, we must do all we can the best we can.
Our waste management programme was established to manage and reduce threats to the ocean in an effort to protect our Earth. With the local community now actively participating, the villagers see an improvement in their islands' cleanliness.
Not only do they tackle the issue of waste on their island, but the local community is also educated on recycling. Recyclables are sorted and separated from normal waste before being sent out to the island.
Some recyclables are upcycled into fridge magnets to be sold as souvenirs and also as an educational component. Children also take part in learning more about recycling.
We only have one Earth. When one part of the Earth is affected, the other will feel it too. Therefore, wherever you are, your support will come back full circle.
We are thankful for your support and hope we can continue working together to tackle the waste issue.
