Climate Action Day (CAD) 2011 will take place on 6 September 2011. On this day, the majority of bins in NUS will be removed in the various faculties’ common areas. The rationale behind this iconic act is to urge the NUS community to reconsider their consumption habits and the waste generated on a daily basis. The bins are everywhere in NUS and it is convenient to dispose of our rubbish - do we think about how much waste we generate? Can what you throw away be recycled or reused instead?

By removing the waste bins in NUS, we urge the community to rethink our lifestyles and start being conscious of our personal impact on the environment.

We would like to challenge you - Can you produce zero waste for one day?

If you really have necessary waste… There are centralized bins located at:
Science: outside LT25
Arts: Central Forum
Engine/SDE: outside LT6
Biz/Com: outside LT 16

Other Initiatives on CAD
Alongside the bin removal exercise conducted on Climate Action Day, there are many other actions one can take to generate less waste:
1. Project Box (all year round): Simply bring your own lunchbox to take away food and receive a stamp. Enjoy a rebate of $2 off your next meal after collecting 10 stamps!
2. FREE Starbucks on CAD: Bring your own tumbler and enjoy free iced coffee/tea at Science (outside LT25) and Central Forum
3. Charitable recycling drive (5th & 6th September 2011)
• Donate your old clothes and used electronics such as laptops, ink cartridges etc. to be recycled and reused!
