Happy World Environment Day! 🌎 What can we learn from the people who cared before it was popular to do so? In recent years, sustainability in Singapore has found new energy. It can feel as though something has shifted quite suddenly, that sustainability awareness in Singapore has arrived all at once. But it did not. What we are seeing today has been built over many years, often quietly and without recognition, by people and organisations who chose to care before it was easy or even welcomed to do so. 💚

Can sustainability feel more meaningful when participation is familiar, accessible, and inclusive? 🔎 Since April 2026, we’ve partnered with Return Right with BCRS to support seniors in understanding the Beverage Container Return Scheme, working with Active Ageing Centres and social service agencies. 💙

So far, we’ve completed 6 outreach sessions and engaged 245 seniors! 💪 Through hands-on guidance and machine demonstrations, the experience becomes more visible, tangible, and easier to participate in on the ground!

We’re grateful for the support of Active Ageing Centres in filling remaining slots, and look forward to meeting more seniors through these sessions. Interested in bringing a similar collaboration to your community? Reach out to us at [email protected] — we’d love to explore how environmental and social experiences can come together. 💚

If nature is art, these are the divas 🙂‍↕️ From sea cucumbers to soft corals, aside from serving looks, they’re also keeping our ecosystems alive — recycling nutrients, filtering the water, and sheltering marine life ✨

Meet Melody! 🎵 She just graduated from River Valley High School and is awaiting acceptance into Environmental Studies at either NUS or NTU 🌏.

She is very eco-conscious in her everyday habits, whether it’s keeping trash to recycle or finishing every piece of food in her meals 🍽️. Believing that collective action is key to systemic change, she wants to understand people’s mindsets towards the environment 🌱. Outside of work, she is an avid bookworm who can often be found curled up with a novel, a comic, or a humorous piece of online fiction 📚✨

Meet Wai Mun! 🌿 Curious, a little lost, yet every bit unhinged, he is excited to learn about everything green before pursuing his studies at the School of Biological Sciences at NTU 🎓. In his free time, you might find him looking up random topics that pique his interest 🔍, going for a walk 🚶‍♂️, or watching YouTube ▶️

Meet Caleb! 🌱 He is an incoming freshman at NUS, majoring in Environmental Studies 🌏🎓. He has a keen interest in making sustainability more accessible and engaging for communities and individuals, and believes that sustainability needs to be appreciated before it can be adopted as a lifestyle.

In his free time, you can find him hanging out with friends 🧑‍🤝‍🧑, reading a book 📚, or searching for the next best Hokkien mee around town! 🍜

Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri from all of us at Green Nudge! 🌙✨ In a season of new outfits, what would it look like to honour what has always been there? As beautiful festive looks fill our feeds, we take a moment to look back and honour the sarong — a simple, versatile fabric worn across Southeast Asia for centuries. More than clothing, it represents identity and community, and a connection to the communities and traditions that shape us. Wishing all a joyous celebration filled with love, light, and cherished moments with loved ones! 💚🥳

Happy Global Recycling Day! ♻ What drives people to return bottles? And how can we design systems that are coherent, reliable, and aligned with how people actually behave? 🤔 shares his reflections on the upcoming launch of the Beverage Container Return Scheme (BCRS), coming at a time when recycling is widely accepted, yet fitting it seamlessly into daily life remains the challenge.

P.S. From April to May 2026, with support from BCRS Ltd, Green Nudge will partner with Active Ageing Centres and community organisations to run outreach sessions to guide them through the scheme and make participation easier. Organisations interested in these outreach opportunities are welcome to contact us! 💚

Working across both policy and on-the-ground efforts, she believes that for transformative change to happen, sustainability has to be tackled from both the bottom up and the top down. When she’s not working or volunteering 🌏, you’ll likely find her observing macaques 🐒 or playing games!
