Welcome to our sixth themed post! 🚩
Here’s a rundown of our recent events!
On 1 Apr 2024 (Monday), F&S initiated an Ugly Food Rescue at the PH foyer to reuse and reduce food waste!♻️
😷Food wastage is a common issue in Singapore, where people often over-purchase food items, leading to the expiry of food purchased for household and commercial use alike! ♻️
What can you do?
♻️Spread awareness about purchasing more “ugly food” in supermarkets
♻️If you have extra food, extend an invitation to friends to enjoy a meal together!
♻️Look out for local & sustainable produce
🌱On 28 March 2024, Kayak & Clean @ PAssion Wave was organized to reduce pollutants on Jurong Lake, Singapore! 🙌🏻
We learnt about
🌱The negative impacts of littering in freshwater environments.
🌱The importance to take personal action to prevent pollution in our waterways
We hope you enjoyed these initiatives! PH F&S will be organizing more green initiatives in the future, so do look out for them!

🌍 Are Microplastics a Concern for You?
Microplastics are tiny plastic particles that have made their way into our bodies, and it's essential to understand their impact. Here are four key takeaways from a recent article in The Straits Times:
What Are Microplastics? Microplastics are pieces of plastic less than 5mm in size, often found in various products and environments.
Where Do They Come From? Common sources include personal care products, synthetic textiles, and even degraded larger plastic items.
Health Implications: While research is ongoing, there are concerns about how microplastics can affect human health, potentially leading to inflammation and other issues.
Taking Action: Reducing plastic usage and opting for sustainable alternatives can help mitigate this issue.
Understanding the significance of microplastics is crucial for our health and the environment. To learn more about the impact of microplastics and what you can do, read the full article here.
