Vendors selling food on campus will no longer provide styrofoam boxes to students. Instead, they will be provided with biodegradable paper boxes and these will be sold to students at reasonable prices. Students are encouraged to bring along durable materials such as plastic containers that can be reused continuously if they do not intend to purchase these special paper boxes.

Furthermore, students will have to pay a reasonable amount (below RM0.50 per piece) for plastic bags. Since most students carry bags to school, it will be wiser to use these than to demand a plastic bag for small items.
A drastic change is needed to break habits. Especially habits that have been ingrained in oneself for a long time. We will keep you updated on the development of this campaign. Suggestions are highly appreciated.
