We’ve got some exciting updates, complete with hundreds of pictures! This year, we hosted our biggest compost booth yet at the Edusave Merit Bursary Ceremony.
The theme was on living clean and green, where we showcased practical ways to care for our environment through do-it-yourself composting.
Held over 2 days at Jurong Green Community Club, about 2,000 kids and adults enjoyed:
Live composting worms
Live Black Soldier Fly grubs
Do-It-Yourself compost bin made up of simple everyday materials
Free colourful handouts on how to compost at home
Fun-loving facilitators who were happy to answer every query and share great facts about composting
Eye-opening videos about various composting methods
Activities and quizzes with prizes
Freebies!
Lively round-the-clock music and emcee
People of all ages experienced plenty of hands-on fun at our booth, and witnessed a whole new world of sustainable living.
On top of that, we conducted several 30-minute introductory workshops on DIY composting and vermicomposting in the auditorium. Families and communities learned what composting is all about, its multitude of benefits, and how it can be done even in high-rise apartments.
Well, let these pictures do the talking! We’ve also shared them on our Facebook page here. Tag your family and friends if you spot them!
