The games CCET performed were very attracting. After the people answered the questionnaire on conservation, and checked to be correct, a recycle bag rewarded. This made the CCET stand the hottest on in the hall. We also have delivered thousands different kinds brochures.

We had nearly 20 CCET trustees and volunteers in the booth on the day, to deliver the brochures, and managed the games. The success was greatly dependant on the enthusiasm of our volunteers. We also had greatly supported by DoC.
