Today Online 28 Aug 09;
THOUSANDS of the spectators who attended the country's National Day Parade in Marina Bay earlier this month have taken the "Care, Share and Be Green" theme to heart.
They have responded enthusiastically to the green message, making the effort to return more than 10,000 of the Mr Bean hand drums and the heart-shaped lanterns, which were available in the NDP09 funpack, for a recycling initiative by the soya bean food and beverage retailer Mr Bean.
The company had sponsored the hand drum that was included in the funpack.
There are still a few days to go for those spectators who have yet to hand in these recyclable items.
They can bring them to selected Mr Bean kiosks by Aug 31. A list of the kiosks is available at www.mrbean.com.sg.
As a gesture of appreciation, Mr Bean gives a reward card for every item recycled: Those who buy a cup of Super Soya Milk (16oz) will get a second cup free.
Thereafter, the items will be collected by Purechem Veolia Environmental Services for recycling.
