#591 - Student Eco-activist Charged for Deflating Tyres & Singapore’s Toilet Mascot Returns
Listen now
Description
Today’s episode is all about sending messages and changing behaviours. An NUS student thought it was a good idea to deflate the tyres of several cars to send a message about vehicular carbon emissions. Deflate only; no harm done right? We discuss the global movement that inspired this student, and why such actions may not be as clever as they seem. Meanwhile, the government has re-introduced a toilet hygiene mascot from two years ago, called Toilemon. It is a literal toilet bowl with eyes, to encourage everyone to keep toilets clean. Sure… but did they have to do it this way??
