Green Council

Comprised of many passionate, driven and motivated students, Green Council is  dedicated to leading Hwa Chong toward a greener future!

 

We are given the platform and ability to turn ideas into reality. Ranging from pushing out green initiatives to implementing school wide changes, Green Council gives you many opportunities to make a difference in Hwa Chong.

 

We work through many platforms to encourage greener habits, such as our online video series: Worth It and Everyday Advocates, and our 2 annual flagship events: 

GreenCon and Earth Week. 

 

Green Council is also able to push for school-wide, large-scale change, like

our Canteen Disposables Campaign that reduced plastic usage in the canteen through removing the provision of plastic cutlery and straws. Furthermore, we are also working to increase the recycling rate in our school through our upcoming Recycling Bin Campaign.

 

Furthermore, we run and manage the Thrift Shop and Butterfly Garden in Hwa Chong. As it is such a waste to throw away books, stationery and uniforms after just 1.5 years of use, the Thrift Shop was created to encourage buying secondhand goods. We aim to reduce fast fashion and wastage, 

 

The Butterfly Garden is a by-students-for-students fixture that exists to allow students to unwind and appreciate the beauty of nature.

 

If you have a passion for the environment and want to spark change in Hwa Chong, meeting like-minded peers and making many friends along the way, Green Council invites you on our journey to make Hwa Chong greener!
