Go Green SG is a whole-of-nation movement to rally the community to take collective action towards a sustainable future for Singapore. It comprises a series of sustainability-related events and activities in July organised by our People, Public and Private (3P) partners. As community partners, we joined this initiative last year and again this year with several activities to show our strong commitment to the SG Green Plan. This year we created a holistic programme, which involved a mobile exhibition and several activities on the topic of sustainable textiles, textile repurposing and environmental impact. The mobile exhibition is called “Circularity in Action: School Uniforms for a Greener Singapore”. It talks about the journey of a school uniforms in Singapore, from the harvesting of cotton and extraction of raw materials to the production, shipment, transportation, and distribution. It also showcases the environmental impact of a school uniform and how to reduce it by highlighting the potential of repurposing uniforms – an important steps towards closing the loop in a circular economy. By emphasising these sustainability issues of the textile industry, the exhibition seeks to inspire changes in norms and mindsets towards circularity and sustainable consumption among students and parents. The content was created in collaboration with 17 Teachers Trainees from the National Institute of Education (NIE), while it was designed by 6 students from ITE Higher Nitec in Visual Merchandising. Complementing the exhibition, we organised sustainability workshops with students and parents for a more hands-on experience. At Tampines Meridian Junior College. we started a Value-In-Action Programme with around 50 J1 students where they'll be making tote bags out of pre-loved uniforms. At River Valley Primary School, students designed fun-filled activities such as Kahoot quizzes and a What's-in-the-box touch and feel activity. At Anglo-Chinese School (Primary), we organised an owl-making workshop where students and parents worked together in creating stuffed owls out of pre-loved uniforms. At National Junior College, students participated in a sustainability workshop where they made pouches out of their pre-loved uniforms. Learn more about these activities here! As part of Go Green SG activities, we also published the results to our nationwide surveys which are available here!
