RECYCLE RED!

We started Recycle Red!, a Chinese New Year sustainability initiative which seeked to promote sustainable & eco-conscious habits during Chinese New Year by partnering with Geneco SG to bring Red Packet Recycling bins to Schools. Recycle Red! was also an inter-school competition, with the winning school, Anderson Serangoon Junior College, recycling 80 kilograms worth of red packets and winning a visit from the Milo Van.

We recycled a total of 435 kilograms worth of red packets across 13 Junior Colleges!

THE BETTERING RUN

We partnered with Canberra Community Club to organise a 3.5KM Run + Post-Run Carnival supporting Health & Sustainability. Set against the picturesque backdrop of Canberra Park, The Bettering Run saw more than 200 participants of all ages show up and was an unforgettable morning full of fun!
