Clean, Clever, Continuity

Overview

Consumption and production drive the global economy, but they also wreak havoc on planetary health through the unsustainable use of resources. One-third of food produced for human consumption is lost or wasted globally, ammounting to about 1 billion tons per year and generating 8-10% of greenhouse gas emissions. In addition, 2.12 billion tons of waste are produced worldwide.

If we continue this trend, the consequences could be dire.

The UN Sustainable Development Goal 12 aims to ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns. On a national level, Vietnam is also striving for Zero Hunger by 2025 and Net Zero by 2050, which includes reducing food waste and carbon emissions.

The RMIT alumni community aspires to contribute to this effort through the Sạch Sành Sanh (Clean, Clever, Continuity) campaign. This campaign aims to raise public awareness about food waste and sustainable lifestyles, their impact on greenhouse gas emissions and personal well-being, and how to reduce food waste and embrace a more environment-friendly lifestyle.

Objectives

In response to the pressing need for sustainable consumption practices, our project aims to address various facets of environmental responsibility while targeting measurable outcomes for success.

Food waste reduction

Through strategic partnerships with local businesses, we will redistribute excess foods to those in need or repurposing it for other uses.

Supporting climate change initiatives

Another crucial component of our project is to fundraise for reputable foundations actively working on tackling climate change.

Raising awareness

Through educational campaigns & workshops, we aim to engage students, faculty, and staff in discussions surrounding responsible consumption.

Sạch Sành Sanh (Clean, Clever, Continuity) is an abbreviation for "Ăn SẠCH", "Sống SÀNH", "Trường SANH" (Eat Clean, Live Clever, Continuity). If we adopt good habits such as finishing our meals, reusing and recycling more, we will live longer lives, and so will our future.
