6. Understanding the vital role of <strong>USM</strong> community in promoting sustainability, RCE<br />

Penang@<strong>USM</strong> conducted a number of activities in term of capacity building and<br />

promoting sustainability among the <strong>USM</strong> community members. “The Campus-Wide<br />

Recycling Program” is an on going project as an initial ‘strategic project’ to create<br />

awareness and develop a core group among the <strong>USM</strong> students and staff. A group of<br />

50 students were trained to be Recycling Champions. For training these students,<br />

two main workshops have been conducted by RCE Penang stakeholders. As another<br />

attempt to institutionalize sustainability in the younger generation, a program on<br />

tree planting and composting for <strong>USM</strong> kindergarten pupils was conducted by RCE<br />

Penang@<strong>USM</strong> to educate the kids on tree planting and composting in simple language<br />

and in an easy-going fun way.<br />
