ECo Living @ South West July 2011

Venue: ITE College West Date: 27.07.2011 Time: 9am 1pm Overview ECo Living @ South West is a year-long community grassroots programme that aims to relief the burden of low/ middle-income families while doing our bit for the Earth. Energy, water and waste audits in HDB households are performed by volunteers in order to identify areas for improvement. The theme for this time was Energy. A healthy turnout of 60 students from ITE College West volunteered to go door-to-door to conduct the audits. Most of the students had already taken part in the previous audits. This is helpful in building up a relationship between students and residents. There have been a training session at ITE College West at 26.06.2011 and the volunteers get a short briefing before the audit starts.

Once the volunteers were clear on their tasks they were told to divide in groups, with a variety of language skills in each group. We had pre-allocated the households to groups of volunteers. At 9.30pm, the volunteers collected their logistics. Each group would get a reusable bag containing the resident info sheet, an energy monitor, a lanyard for every group member, a clipboard, reminder medals, stickers, a help sheet on how to conduct the audit.

By 12.30am, all the volunteers had completed their allocated units and returned to the RC. After all the logistics were collected, a mass debrief was conducted. At 1pm, the programme officially ended.
