: an art installation by Singapore

Youth for Climate Action

In support of Singapore’s Year of Climate Action,

Singapore Youth for Climate Action

(SYCA) have commissioned an art installation

entitled “+” that integrates recycled drink

cans and plastic bottles. The SYCA community

helped to spread environmental awareness by

getting participants of the recent NTUC Income

Eco Run to recycle their 100PLUS cans after the

run. By involving the runners in the building of

this installation, it is an expression of personal

responsibility and collective commitment to creating

a sustainable Singapore.

The installation is designed by Din Chan of Madlab and

built with the support of Ground-Up Innovation Labs

for Development (GUILD).

#USELESSPLASTICS roadshow by WWF

Plastics are durable, light and versatile. However,

they take up to 400 years to decompose. This will

affect people’s lives for the next 16 generations.

In Singapore, about 700 million kg of plastic

waste is discarded every year. But less than 10% of

plastics are being recycled. Our excessive use of

plastics is impacting ocean health and biodiversity.

By 2050, there could be more plastics in the ocean

than fish by weight. Come join us to learn more

about how plastics affect not only our oceans

but our climate too through our engaging games

and activities. We will also be featuring our new

sustainable WWF Merchandise line to help support

our campaigns.
