Recycled Shopping Bags

After visiting the Clean and Green Campaign, we were given goodie bags to take home with us. The bags are made from recycled materials. Can you recognized them? Some are banners of advertisements for products. I chose a nice blue bag, I think it is made from a used Pepsi banner.

Hort Park - Clean and Clean Campaign Exhibition

At the clean and green campaign at Hort Park, there's an exhibition of the then and now of Singapore.

It brought back memories of the time when I was younger, living in a not so clean environment. But now everything is so organised and clean.



An example of the street hawker back then in the 60s, the utensils they used are so old and discoloured but now hawkers will be fined or suspended if their stalls are unclean.



Now the sweeper's job are easier and high tech, they are help with machines and make it more attractive so that people will want to work as sweeper.
