About 250 students hit the streets of Singapore on 28 - 29 Oct to ‘protest’ against littering.
Run by the Student Ambassadors, and supported by the Student Union and the International Students’ Club,
the project allowed Republicans to act as youth activists, to share the Green message, and more importantly,
to do something about an issue which is of great concern to many.
They used their energy and passion to tackle this particular social ill by asking pedestrians to ‘vote’ against
litter by depositing their unwanted pamphlets into special ‘ballot boxes’. Armed with green t-shirts and bandannas,
the students targeted high traffic pedestrian areas across six locations – at the Tangs Underpass,
the Suntec City overhead bridge, outside Northpoint Mall, Somerset MRT, Sim Lim
Square and Causeway Point.
At the end of the two-day ‘protest’, eighteen boxes of ‘votes’ were
collected. The collection will be displayed during the launch of the Clean and
Green Week on 5 Nov 2006.
