Sharing one big culture shock in Singapore as a Japanese. I have lived in Singapore for 5 years but never really talked about this matter - which is recycling and food package wastage. In Japan, I used to classify all my rubbish and recycle them accordingly. But in Singapore, it seems like all the trash goes to one rubbish chute. I'm having a discussion about this matter with Singaporean online personality, Annette Lee.
Curious about solutions to tackle food and packaging waste in Singapore? Check out past and upcoming finalists of the DBSF x NEA Hungry for Change Challenge at: dbs.com/foundation/community-impact/dbsf-nea-hungry-for-change
