In Singapore, Waterways Watch Society's school assemblies and trail learning sessions educated students about water scarcity, sustainability, pollution and monitoring; conservation at home and in the community; the human impact on climate change; Singapore's water management infrastructure; and litter monitoring. More than 450 students also participated in seven waterway cleanups on foot at litter hot spots where they learned how waste affects water resources.
As part of its Drop by Drop Project work with Waterways Watch Society, Marina Bay Sands participated in the organization's Kayak Waterway Clean-Ups, a unique experiential learning program in which participants explored litter hot spots on Singapore waterways. While paddling on kayaks in Marina Reservoir, a primary drinking water source, Team Members picked up litter and learned about its impact on water and wildlife. Marina Bay Sands supported 12 cleanups with 188 Team Members, including a session with resort executives.
Sands' underwriting of the Drop by Drop Project is part of the Sands ECO360 global sustainability program, which guides the company's work to minimize environmental impact and promote sustainable practices in the company's regions around the world.
