Singaporeans Try: Zero Waste Challenge | EP 70 | Tokyo
Information | History | View | Sightseeing | Video
As a follow-up to the Leftover Food Challenge, a few of us took on the task of living without creating any waste for an entire week. And as we found out, it was no easy feat. Watch the video to find out who’s Captain Planet and who’s the “trashiest” of them all. Special thanks to NTUC FairPrice for making this video possible. Visit http://heretomakelivesbetter.com.sg/better-for-our-planet to find out more about FairPrice's contribution for a better planet. And special thanks to all the viewers who submitted their suggestions for this challenge in the previous video! Here are some of the tips we accumulated over the challenge that you can adopt for yourself to reduce the amount of waste you create: 1. Avoid using straws when possible. 2. Teabags are home-made deodorisers. 3. Recycle used cans. 4. Use a handkerchief instead of tissue. 5. Use masks tubs instead of individual sheet masks. 6. Bring your own reusable containers for takeaways. 7. Print on both sides to save paper. 8. Be conscious of your own waste. 9. Encourage your friends and family to do it with you. 10. Only take what you need when it comes to tissues. 11. Use the back of your receipts as note pads. 12. Reduce the use of plastic bags where possible. 13. Avoid buying individually wrapped snacks if possible. 14. START SMALL!

Great video about going green! I really think that it is a mindset and behavior of the users that is the key here in reducing waste! I saw another video about energy efficient appliances which also talks about the consumption behavior being the key.
If you are interested, check it out here!

Proposing supermarkets to charge for plastic bags does not solve environmental issues. Because the plastic bags supply by supermarkets are non-biodegradable. A better solution will be for all supermarkets to replace non-biodegradable to biodegradable plastic bags. That will make everyone happier. And more environmentally friendly too.

It's good to see more people getting more environmentally-conscious. Keep it up! Hope to see you guys using your own food containers and water bottles even after this challenge is over!

This is such a good social experiment. I went to the bread store and told the lady to put my 2 breads together and she said "cannot because the bags are too small."
