Recyclable Collection & Sorting

As the pandemic has impacted the lives of some indigenous people, Tzu Chi volunteers delivered relief supplies and extended care to them. Volunteers also grabbed the opportunity to share the concepts of recycling and environmental protection.

“To ensure hygiene and safety, dental treatment requires various disposables to be used. Because of this, some conclude that dentistry is one of the least environmental-friendly professions.” However, ever since dentist Ng Guat Kiat and her assistants responded to Tzu Chi’s call for recycling, they have proven that they too can practise environmental protection.

The drizzle did not stop the group of parents and children from experiencing recycling on the island. Dragging bags of PET bottles collected, they were filled with only happiness and a sense of accomplishment.
