2. PROMOTING ENVIRONMENTAL CONSCIOUSNESS F&NHB continued our commitment to advocating the 5R philosophy of Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Rethink and Reinvent amongst schoolchildren in more fun and imaginative ways, through the F&N “Recycle For A Life Cycle” Day, at Kuching, Sarawak and Seberang Prai, Penang, in conjunction with our annual F&N School Recycling Campaign. Supported by Tetra Pak (Malaysia) Sdn. Bhd., local councils, recycling partners and non- governmental organisations (NGOs), the one-day F&N “Recycle For A Life Cycle” Day featured a plethora of fun and exciting activities to generate awareness and educate over 1,000 schoolchildren and their teachers on the many benefits of recycling and how incorporating the 5R philosophy in their daily lives can help conserve the environment. The main highlight of the F&N “Recycle For A Life Cycle” Day was the campaign’s first ever poster design competition to empower schoolchildren to take the lead in protecting the environment. Themed “Recycle For A Life Cycle”, the poster design competition was aimed at raising awareness of recycling and fostering creativity by inspiring students to harness their thoughts and imagination to create ingenious posters with recyclable items. The Waste Bank and Recycling Project was been implemented at 2 local schools in Thailand - Wattanodtia School, Ayutthaya Province, Thailand and Watkokmayom School, Ayutthaya Province, Thailand. More than 170 students and teachers learned how to dispose of waste and recycle appropriately, and the impact of poor waste management on the environment and the society. Recycling also provides tangible monetary benefits to the students of Watkokmayom School by selling the recyclables. Approximately 150,000 THB was spent on improving the waste management infrastructure of the schools from setting up recycling stations to renovating waste storage areas.
