We were excited to join fellow change makers on Saturday in a booth showcase to celebrate the 5th anniversary of the SG Eco Fund—a milestone that marked over $18.6 million disbursed to more than 350 sustainability initiatives across Singapore. As a proud grant recipient, we were thrilled to be part of this gathering of environmental advocates, educators, innovators, and community leaders. The event at Vidacity was a celebration of ground-up action and collective impact. We had the opportunity to connect with other initiatives dedicated to environmental stewardship and sustainable living, each contributing uniquely to Singapore’s vision of a zero-waste nation. A particularly meaningful moment was meeting Minister for Sustainability and the Environment, Ms Grace Fu. We were deeply honored to share with her the progress of The Circular Classroom. Textiles are one of Singapore’s least recycled waste streams—only 2% of textile and leather waste was recycled in 2023. At The Circular Classroom, we see this as both a challenge and an opportunity. By partnering with schools, we work to reduce textile waste at its source through environmental education and sustainable consumption practices. The SG Eco Fund’s anniversary was a reminder that climate action thrives when communities come together.
