Many RVRC residents tend to use disposable containers when taking away from YIH canteen, which generates massive amounts of waste. Our objectives were to help them visualise the differences in the impacts of using disposable versus reusable containers and to persuade them to switch to the latter.
We designed a 30-minute interactive workshop that comprised a pre- and post-workshop and review survey, a presentation and a Kahoot quiz. We also put up posters and created a Telegram group to remind RVRC residents to bring their containers when taking away food. After the workshop, 30% of the 20 participants of our workshop started using their reusable containers at least 50% of the time when they take away food from YIH canteen. This shows our method had some positive effects in promoting the use of reusable containers to take away food.
