In conjunction with Youth for the Environment Day and Earth Day, Ci Yuan CC YEC and NYEC mobilized 22 Primary and Secondary School students to spread awareness in using lesser plastic bags.

A total of 120,000 plastic bags were collected to achieve our aim to construct the largest plastic sculpture in world. All collected plastic bags will be recycled after our event.

We hope that such acts of saving the environment can do a long way in championing a cause that could preserve our environment for many future generations to come! :)

Some photos taken in the event:

This is a move aimed at reaching out to effectuate a larger scope of youths. In addition, the change of date would mean that the event would be held on the first Sunday of the June Holidays, in conjunction with the World Environment Day. Our Official Event Venue will henceforth be relocated to Fountain Square of City Square Mall, Singapore’s First Eco-mall.

We sincerely apologise for the change in date should it bring to you and your students inconvenience, especially in the co-ordination of schedules.

This unprecedented decision was made based on the ambivalent response received from  many schools that have expressed interest in joining our En-mazing Race but who were unable to do so due to the Mid Year Examination scheduled for the first week of May, leading us to seriously consider requests for the change of date.

We strongly believe that the journey towards effective community service participation can only be possible if a balance between involvement in such events and academic considerations is achieved. As such,
after much consideration and negotiation, the organizing committee has decided to take the measure of postponing NYEC 2012.

However, our opening ceremony, the Guinness World Record Challenge, will continue to be held on 21st April 2012 as scheduled.

With NYEC’s mission to educate youths and members of the public about the values of leading environmentally friendly lifestyles, the council thus hope that we can reach out and  benefit a larger crowd of youths, motivating them to take ownership of their personal environment and champion their own environmental causes.

Once again, we apologise for any inconveniences caused. Should you have any other queries, please feel free to direct it to us, we will do our utmost to assist you.

We humbly thank you for your support and anticipation towards NYEC 2012 thus far. We hope to seek your understanding and continued support in making NYEC 2012 a successful and meaningful one. Thank you for your time in reading this and we hope to hear from you soon!

Yours faithfully

NYEC 12 EXCO
