Ensuring sustainable celebrations


THE festivals of Chinese New Year, Thaipusam, and Hari Raya will be observed in the coming months. With future generations in mind, we must optimise the opportunity to enjoy celebrations while also taking care of the planet.

Let us not take for granted the waste or carbon footprints we produce and the resources we consume as we celebrate. One way to do this is by embracing the principles of the circular economy, a system that minimises waste and maximises resource use. Briefly, a circular economy is all about making the most of what we already have. For example, the concept focuses on reusing, recycling, and extending the life of materials. It’s the opposite of the “use it and toss it” mentality.
