Hi All, now I'll shift a bit from the usual badminton topic to my past week activity. This week is the week for International Waste Congress organized by ISWA (International Solid Waste Management) with WMRAS (Waste Management and Recycling Association of Singapore). This event was held in Suntec City Convention Centre 3-6 Nov 2008.
Welcome reception was held @ Hortpark, Singapore's Gardening Hub. It was a great dinner under the starry sky.
On 5th and 6th, there is a parallel event held by NEA: Clean and Green Singapore, Schools' Carnival. This event basically comprises of booths showcasing the effort spent by various education institution start from primary, secondary, JC and ITE for being clean and green. It is very encouraging to see the future generation of Singapore speaking about 3R (Reduce, Reuse, and Recycling), alternative energy sources, and other nature loving activites. Below are the snapshots of the event.

Even Nokia will plant a tree under your name in Kalimantan if you recycle your handphone, any type, any brand.... battery also can..
Below are the showcase made 100% by recycled materials
This is my favourite
Today, I visited Pulau Semakau Landfill. I believe this is the only offshore landfill in the world made by closing the sea area between Pulau Semakau and Pulau Sakeng. This was done by building 7km perimeter sand bunk. For a landfill, I can say that this will be the most beautiful landfill in the world. The best thing is that, its odour free. This can be done since no food or other organic waste can be thrown in this landfill. Only ashes and waste that are non-incinerable (e.g. pvc pipe) can be dumped here. Below are few of the pics:
