Taylor's ECA Day for March intake students was held in MPH on the 22th of April. Taylor's Environmental Club hopped on board for a booth to promote our club & what we do, and of course, to recruit more members!
Stage 1: Preperation
As usual, we were determined to include recycling into our agenda. Incorporating this element into our booth however, is easier said than done. But thanks to our president Sonia, we solved that problem, on top of coming up with a pretty bad-ass booth concept!
What you see is here is what our both concept is based on. By using cardboard boxes, we can construct "towers", and on each tower, information about the club and our events/activities can be read! Not only does this maximize the space we have, we can now focus more on the recruitment part of the plan.
There aren't any pictures of us making preparations as we were all too taken up and busy, but rest is assured, we stalked every photocopy center (MAC, Ichiban etc) for cardboard boxes. A significant amount of time was spent on ripping the boxes apart and turning them inside out as well as decorating them, but there wasn't a task too big for the club as the members got really hands on in helping out.
We also made 10/10 fliers to be given out. In order to reduce our paper usage, we reused some old/misprinted paper to print our fliers on. The 10/10 flier is mainly a list of ten things that you, as an individual can do for the environment.

Stage 2: The Day
Our finished product!
Our preparation involved a lot of effort, which I must say, paid off! But our booth didn't just involve the "towers", we included something else as well!
It is a mock toilet! Hahah, this toilet was actually used for another event, The World Longest Toilet Queue Campaign. Seeing that there will be a lot of people during the ECA event, why not jump at the chance to promote water awareness as well?
Using the mock toilet was a really good idea, it was a real attention grabber as people gaped and gawked at it. The reason why was because.....
... our members were in it! We were posing and acting as if it was an actual toilet, peeing and pooping and apparently having bubble tea while doing it.

the towers
No pain no gain, and no work no towers. We certainly worked hard at making them, so I'm posting some pictures of them NYEHEHEEH.
We took up quite a lot of space with our towers, but thank god the clubs stationed next to us didn't really mind.
Quite a lot of people from the March intake joined our club, which is always a good thing! If you happen to be reading this and are from the march intake, note that our meetings are every Tuesday, 4pm at room D16
The icing on the cake was when we won the Best Booth Award! We took our World Water Day signs and ran onstage and made full use of this opportunity of promoting our club while on stage.
Stage 3: After
Seeing that there was a lot of cleaning up to do, we actually stayed back and helped to clean! We even took the recyclable materials and sorted them (plastics and paper). Overall, it was a success. We managed to recruit quite a lot of members and managed to interest a rather lot of people about our up coming events.
See you at our next meeting!
