SINGAPORE : This year's Recycling Day saw the launch of a programme for the future generation.
Environment Minister Dr Yaacob Ibrahim has announced a new programme for preschool children to be rolled out next year.
It will help spread the message of the 3 Rs of recycling - Reduce, Reuse and Recycle
The programme will benefit 258 PAP Community Foundation (PCF) kindergartens and ten childcare centres under the Presbyterian Community Services.
A pilot project on recycling earlier this year at 2 PCF kindergartens was well received by both teachers and students.
Recycling Day is organised by the National Environment Agency, which wants to involve the people, public and private sector in creating awareness for recycling. - CNA/ch
