Eco After Me

A few days ago I received a "mystery box" from the people of The Thinking Cube.

The Thinking Cube is formed by four Singapore Polytechnic graduates, Ong Ting En, Lyrenna Loh, Lim Li Yi and Melissa Lim. They founded The Thinking Cube, while working with the National Environment Agency (NEA) during one of their final year projects.



Their campaign, Eco After Me, is an environmental communications campaign held in conjunction with Youth for The Environment Day, and aims to increase offline interaction and adoption of environmental habits amongst the youth.

The project is centered on the idea of spreading the message through pranks. Furthermore, my friend was the mascot for their event held at Scape on 18 & 19 April 2014.

Overall, I felt that this is a great chance for us youths to do our part for the environment, and it doesn't take much effort to do so!!!

For instance, you can use your own water bottle and refill water instead of buying them elsewhere. Or reducing your showering time by 10 mins, you can save tons of water by doing that! Or even switching off lights, your electronic gadgets when you're not using them.

By doing so, you can also post pictures and sharing them on Instagram by #EcoAfterMe and #BeEcoWithMe.

Now here's something that you guys would love!!!
