SEGi College Kuala Lumpur recently hosted an impactful event aimed at promoting awareness on the “Reduce, Reuse, Recycle” (3R) concept among its students. Organised by the AHN Committee, the event brought together 27 participants, reflecting SEGi’s dedication to fostering sustainable practices and environmental responsibility.
The event featured an engaging talk by a representative from the Department of Environment Kuala Lumpur, who enlightened the attendees on various 3R strategies and their significance in minimising waste. This initiative aligns with United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly Sustainable Cities and Communities (SDG 11), by advocating for sustainable waste management practices. The session ran smoothly from 2 PM to 3:30 PM, with students gaining valuable insights into clinical and scheduled waste management at the workplace.
SEGi’s commitment to providing high-quality educational experiences is evident through such initiatives. By exposing students to real-world environmental challenges and solutions, SEGi equips them with the knowledge and skills necessary to contribute to sustainable development. The event’s success underscores SEGi’s role in promoting environmental awareness and responsibility within its community.
The interactive session also highlighted the importance of reducing waste, reusing materials, and recycling resources to create a sustainable future. The hands-on approach taken during the event helped students better understand the practical applications of the 3R concept, reinforcing SEGi’s educational philosophy of learning beyond the classroom.
This event not only achieved its objective of raising awareness but also fostered a sense of community and collective responsibility among the participants. The positive feedback and active engagement from the students demonstrated the effectiveness of the event in instilling sustainable practices and environmental stewardship.
SEGi remains steadfast in its mission to support the UN SDGs by organising events that educate and inspire students to take action towards a more sustainable world. The successful execution of the “Reduce, Reuse, Recycle” awareness talk is a testament to SEGi’s ongoing efforts to integrate sustainability into its educational framework and campus culture.
