Welcome back! With the beginning of semester, please enjoy our third themed post! 🚩

Discover Singapore's Nature Reserves: Dive into Fun Facts from Our Fabulous Four!🐾🌳

🌿 Bukit Timah Nature Reserve:
Once part of the Central Catchment Nature Reserve, it got separated by the Bukit Timah Expressway in 1986. But in 2013, a bridge reconnected these green giants, fostering genetic connectivity for flora and fauna

πŸƒ Central Catchment Nature Reserve:
Singapore's largest nature reserve spans over 2,000 hectares of lush forest cover, a sprawling haven for diverse ecosystems.

⛰️ Labrador Park:
During World War II, it served as a fortress with underground ammunition storerooms, strategically guarding the entrance to Singapore's harbors.

🦩 Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve:
An internationally recognized haven for migratory birds! Birds migrate from the Northern Hemisphere to seek refuge in the wetlands and mangrove forests.

Welcome to our fourth themed post! 🚩

Did you know that Singapore's Semakau landfill 🏝 , which began operations in 1999, is expected to be filled by 2035?

😷Every year, almost 8 million tonnes of waste is added to the island, but we can all do our part to reduce this figure...by ♻️ RECYCLING! ♻️

✨Hold on!! We know you all love Earth as much as we do, but even recycling has rules:

DO
♻️check if your plastic is recyclable (applies to PET, HDPE and PP plastic)
♻️rinse food containers before recycling (and dry them thx!)

Please do NOT
❌recycle styrofoam or food-stained packagings
❌recycle food waste or e-waste (those require special bins)

❗️Did you know❗️
Certain pantries in PH have been equipped with recycling bins? πŸ‘€ The pantries included are the 23/B1, 23/1, 23/2, 23/4, 23/5 and 25/2!

🌱The more we recycle correctly, the more we can reduce the amount of waste sent to Semakau landfillπŸ™ŒπŸ»

If you are unsure whether an item is recyclable, do not hesitate to check the government's CGS website!

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 β€œugly 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! πŸ™ŒπŸ»

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!
