Learn about plastic waste

This is part of  Wildlife Reserves Singapore's efforts to conserve biodiversity.

The organisation  has rolled out three different activities for kids to learn about plastic waste in our environment, as animals often mistake plastic for food or become entangled in them.

1. Shore Debris Table 

The activity features interactive art installations, where kids sieve through real sand collected from Singapore's beaches to find microplastics and learn what happens when these plastics are not discarded properly.

Kids can also use the plastic pieces to create something for their friends, helping to spread the message about plastic pollution.

Date:s Oct. 4, 5, 6, 12, 13, 19, 20, 26, 27, and Oct. 28, 2019

Time: 10:00am - 4:00pm

Location: Jurong Bird Park (Penguin Coast) and Singapore Zoo (Frozen Tundra)

2. Recycle Racers 

Kids can learn about recycling by competing with their families and friends to sort common household trash in the right bins.

Date: Oct. 4, 5, 6, 12, 13, 19, 20, 26, 27, and Oct. 28, 2019

Time: 10:00am - 4:00pm

Location: Singapore Zoo (Frozen Tundra)
