Bring Your Own Container is an initiative by the Campaign Management portfolio to raise awareness about the excessive use of disposable cutlery and containers and to encourage the NTU community to reduce disposables by bringing their own cutlery and containers for takeaway orders.
Disposables provided by canteen vendors in NTU are mostly Styrofoam and plastics (be it biodegradable, corn ware or non-biodegradable). Earthlink members will spread the rationale behind this campaign to their peers in order to make our efforts appreciated by NTU members.
Earthlink also aimed to continue and expand the Bring Your Own Bag Campaign in an effort to minimize the excessive use of disposable plastic bags. We wanted the practice of students bringing and using their own reusable bag along to grow in NTU in order to control the issuance of disposable plastic bags. Our vision is that NTU community will readily choose to cut down on plastics as they get more knowledgeable about the significant environmental impact of plastic pollution particularly on marine ecosystem. We also aimed in making the habits of bringing your own bag to a stage where it forms a part of our lifestyle.
