Green Games

Date: 14th of January to 23rd of February 2014
Venue: Inter Hall Games Vanue, NTU
Green Games is an initiative to bring in the eco-friendly element to the annual inter hall games conducted in NTU during the months of December to February. The Inter Hall Games (IHG) is a period where all sixteen halls of NTU are engaged in a healthy competition across various sports with outstanding displays of sportsmanship, team work and camaraderie. Often during these games, the welfare committees of the halls prepare refreshments and welfare packages for the players. This consists of mainly canned sports drinks such as 100 plus, Aquarius and the like. On average, during each game, 15-20 cans are thrown away. Earthlink NTU has identified this a key area to recycle aluminum cans in large quantities and is coming up with a unique pilot event to start a first of its kind recycling campaign in NTU.
To implement said recycling, can recycling bins will be placed at strategic locations at the sports complexes in NTU between January 14th and February 23rd 2014. Hall JCRCs and hall players will be informed of these bins so that they can utilize them to recycle the cans. We hope to collect 300-400 cans over the period of a month. Our primary aim is to increase awareness about this event. We hope to raise participation levels in the coming years and we hope recycling can become a main feature in several events in the years to come.
