SS2 Cares CNY Street Carnival 2009

For the last 4 years, SS2 Cares, Local Agenda 21 in collaboration with the residents groups, disabled groups, NGO and the traders organised the SS2 Cares CNY Street Carnival at the SS2 Town Centre. It is a fun-filled and informative event organised in conjunction with the Chinese New Year celebration. This year saw 76 traders included 4 disabled friends set up their stalls. Variety of goods for festive celebration are on display and sale.

Capitalising on the big crowd, Local Agenda 21 PJ in collaboration with TetraPak and Justlife organises the awareness campaign for recycling and environmental. While TetraPak offers public to recycle beverage carton by giving out goodies in exchange of empty carton, Justlife offers shoppers come with their own shopping bag for a bottle of garbage enzyme. This is a good out reach opportunity to promote sustainable development. It is so difficult to get people to come to learn about good environmental practice, more so to get them practicing recycling habit. It become a easy task to get shoppers to stop for a while to listen to the explanation. Perhaps more awareness and information dissemination programmes shall be done at the functions with high turn out of people.
