Helping environmental protection Singapore Huaqiao High School students initiate a toilet paper collection project

　　China News Service, February 23. According to Singapore’s “Lianhe Zaobao” report, to others, toilet paper tubes may be worthless trash, but for Singapore’s Huaqiao High School Senior Sophomore Li Chengye, toilet paper tubes not only promote the “circular economy” One of the links can also be used for public welfare.

　　Li Chengye has collected as many as 860 kilograms of toilet paper tubes so far. He hopes that after reaching the goal of collecting 1,000 kilograms, he will sell the paper tubes to a resource recycling company and donate all the proceeds to charity.

　　Li Chengye (18 years old), the initiator of the local toilet paper tube environmental protection program "ToiletRollSG", is one of the winners of the EcoFriend Awards in Singapore in 2021.

　　Li Chengye has been collecting toilet paper tubes since he was a child.

Three years ago, when she was studying at Nanyang Girls' High School, she was inspired by Hong Xinyi, a senior high school student in Huaqiao Middle School who initiated the "Zero Straw" campaign at the time. She hoped that the small move of collecting toilet paper tubes could exert a greater influence.

　　So she contacted more than 20 resource recyclers, hoping to find a company willing to recycle these toilet paper tubes.

Just when she thought she had fallen to the sea, she received a reply.

　　But the company said she had to collect toilet paper tubes weighing 1,000 kilograms (equivalent to about 150,000) before the company could recycle it.

The company collects these paper rolls at 5 cents per kilogram, and she donates the proceeds to charity.

　　Although this goal may seem difficult to achieve, Li Yongye is still trying his best to collect toilet paper tubes through contact with different schools and recycling companies, as well as frequent propaganda ideas in communities, middle and primary schools.

　　When she was interviewed, she said firmly: "Although the strength is limited, the accumulation of sand becomes a tower. I have introduced this environmental protection project to thousands of people."

　　Li Chengye will prepare for the A-level meeting this year. She hopes to take a good balance of environmental protection plans and studies, and do her part to make Singapore move towards a more sustainable and environmentally friendly direction.
