Record Breaking Event - Longest Line of Flower Pots

If you are sitting at home, and bored of watching the same re-runs on cable, and don't want to do the usual shopping and dining weekend routine. Why not do something that will make history?

Singapore's first eco-friendly mall, City Square Mall, is hosting a record breaking event for the Singapore Book of Records - "The Longest Line of Flower Pots".

In conjunction with the National Environment Agency (NEA), the mall has organized a series of "Shiny Eco Workshops" over the last 2 weekends to encourage the public to display their creativity by decorating reusable plastic containers.

At the same time, to commemorate the Mid-Autumn Festival,  the flower pots will be transformed into lanterns for shoppers to bring home after the record breaking event,.  

“We are encouraged by City Square Mall’s creative idea of using these reusable plastic containers to engage the community for the Mid-Autumn Festival and fully support them in this green cause. Furthermore, these containers will be used to form the longest line of flower pots to set a record in the Singapore Book of Records and NEA will also be sponsoring the plant stakes with dengue prevention messages. We hope that through this initiative, shoppers at City Square Mall can help spread this important message and take up personal responsibility to clear any stagnant water in their flower pot plates at home to prevent breeding of mosquitoes,” said NEA's Central Regional Office Senior Manager for 3P, Mr Brandon Low.
