Aim:
To show appreciation towards cleaners and inculcate responsibility in cleaning up after meals.

Why:
Patrons often fail to clear their plates after use at dining establishments, taking cleaners for granted.

Where:
Neighbourhood food court.

What:
Made origami roses for about 100 cleaners and approached the public to educate them on being responsible in clearing up after their meals.

How:
The public learnt that clearing up after themselves was in the interest of fellow dining patrons. The team also gained self-confidence through the project.

Trolley Etiquette

“Being kind is about learning to be responsible citizens and not taking public property for granted.”

Aim:
Raise awareness amongst shoppers on the importance of returning trolleys.

Why:
Abandoned trolleys at void decks or estate loading bays result in less trolleys for other shoppers at supermarkets, and are safety hazards for residents.

Where:
NTUC FairPrice at Tampines Mall.

What:
The team designed posters and pamphlets, and went around the supermarket and designated trolley return points to explain to users the importance of returning trolleys.

How:
Campaign was well received and most patrons were aware of the importance of returning trolleys. Some even provided suggestions on how to manage this issue.
