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 />
