Ban all NUS tenures and researchers from driving, and remove all air conditioners from NUS buildings will be most effective in combating global woke warming.

Deterring the use is a good thing , but loose trash will become a problem sooner or later. Why not build pyrolysis plants to convert all this plastic waste back into fuel?

66% strong mandate hor, you think they will care for sinkies sheep?

Ownself gave blank cheque, you think you are the boss of pap? Wait long long. Once they gotten the votes, you are damned.

Buy trash bag lah
Sinkies cannot think of solution meh?

english teacher cannot read chinese i apologise. the "research" saying we discard 4 plastic bags on average a week saying this is a waste. but 4 trash bags a week is hardly a waste and they are used to wrap rubbish. it has literally nth to do with buying trash bags...

 

[hardindex]

how much money spent on this research? Can the researcher ask himself whether his life got meaning?

 

[project_00]

Remember you voted for this so no complaints

 

[miko66]

Academics is to fufil the requirements of the given narrative, so that’s why normal people see it as weird and out of scope

 

[samferguson]

Zaobao: 近半受访者每周丢逾四个塑料袋 收费2角可改使用习惯

Summary:
According to a NUS research, near to half of the interviewees threw away 4 plastic bags on the average per week. Charging 20 cents per plastic bag may "change this habit".


This is not even a test balloon anymore. When such news comes out, we can be quite sure that it would be implemented. Never mind the sample size/cpmposition, the need to bag rubbish before disposing, or the use of incinerators on most of the rubbish here.

With 66% strong mandate, what is there to deter them?

Did the nus research based on the plastic bag used to “recycle” the duke nus library books?

4 plastic bags is because we use the shopping plastic bag as trash bags.
think the research want us to don't use shopping plastic bags and just use trash bags to dispose of rubbish.

We should follow trump and ban foreign students from local universities

Period.

Unless your trash bags are made of paper, it will still count as plastic bags being thrown away. English Teacher why think of such useless solution?
