Environmental Health

Activities
Project ONEBots
Once disposed, plastic materials can take centuries to break down. They may add a heavier burden on landfills and waste-processing facilities if not discarded properly. Project ONEbots aims to collect plastic bottles so that they can be recycled which helps the environment and creates new economic opportunities.
#TupperwareTuesdays
This social media campaign was spearheaded by the SCOPH-EH where they encouraged the use of tupperware containers to bring packed lunch. Participants would bring packed lunch on Tuesdays and post a picture of themselves and their lunch online with the corresponding hashtag: #TupperwareTuesdays. The purpose of this initiative was to prevent the further generation of unsustainable waste and promote environmental awareness amongst the student body in CIM.
