Get creative with newspapers

Today, Earth is filled with a lot of garbage and landfills are getting scarce. 

In end 2014, the RA SS20 Central Environmental Committee started composting and placed some DIY compost bins in the Central Zone field to encourage residents to compost their kitchen waste.

Recently, the Environmental Committee and the Social Committee took another sustainable step by reusing old newspapers and magazines.
