One of the most obvious things we can do in supporting Sustainability is using less plastic and practising recycling. But do we know how else we can contribute to Sustainability?
At #SIRS, our mission in support of #Sustainability is to make it accessible for everyone to put it into practice easily, and such that which also brings about positive #valuecreation for both our planet and ourselves.
Since May this year, hundreds of learners have taken our #Sustainability course – with a triple bonus. From understanding why Sustainability matters to each and every one of us, and how practising it can make our lives and our future a better one – learners get down to a full session in #upcycling of pre-loved clothing and fabrics into new (and beautiful!) fashion items using our partner’s BROTHER sewing machines; followed by another full session of learning #MobilePhotography to take amazing photos for showcasing on #socialmedia, plus getting tips and insights to set up their very own Sustainability #eCommerce store!
At the recent Central Singapore CDC Skills for Good Festival held at Plaza Singapura, attended by the Minister for Education of Singapore, Mr Chan Chun Sing, SIRS was present to contribute to “Skills for the good of Self, Community and for Life” which focuses on the #digital #care #green economic growth pillars of Singapore. Attendees of the festival were treated to an enriching experience at our SIRS booth with live demonstrations of Sustainability crafting with pre-loved fabrics, tips and techniques on use of the BROTHER sewing machines and appropriate fabric selection, learning how to make pillowcases and personalised embroidered name tags on the spot.
Sustainability crafting is an amazing way of applying the power and potential of creativity to deriving innovative ideas and even more importantly real and positive outcomes that serve the good for all.
