By Danielle S.G. Drost Monday the 10th of October marked the kick-off of the first events organised by the various departments of ASAP. Already around 10:00 o'clock in the morning did the Urban Garden team head off to the garden, to face the task that had been waiting for them for weeks: the taming of the wild and weedy wilderness. More than twenty ambitious hands went to work under the supervision of one very energetic dog, and results were booked (as one can clearly see from the picture below). From 13:00 o'clock on, a large group of us went to the Vrijthof to approach passersby and ask them to participate in a (pretty difficult) quiz on the negative impacts of plastic bottle use. By encouraging participants to first study our informative poster before starting the quiz, we tried to inform people in a playful way, which seemed to work. The prize for those who managed to answer at least 9 out of 13 questions correctly was a colourful, sustainable Dopper bottle. From the 80+ participants (!), about 25 people managed to go home with a brand-new Dopper (See for more pictures the next post). The results of the quiz will soon be posted on this website. After two hours, the sun had been forced to give way to thick, grey clouds accompanied by a cold drizzle. With only two hours and more than 17 bottles left, a steep drop in the motivation curve was lurking. Optimism was renewed when some of the (very tasty) results of the vegan cooking class were unexpectedly delivered. The day was concluded by a not-in-a-pub-pub quiz, whereby students were encouraged to show off their knowledge while enjoying some not-too-chilled canned beer. As we would say in Dutch: het was een geslaagde dag.
We want to thank Dopper and ICIS-MUST for their sponsoring and support, and all the active ASAP members for their energy and enthusiasm!
