At the teachers’ booth, there were large crowds. Some might contemplate as to whether they were there to buy stuff or just make fun of the teachers as they ‘plead’ for people to purchase their items. But the teachers indeed lived up to the role, selling all sorts of unnatural items. Mr Goy frantically tried to sell of his Levi’s Jeans and new branded clothes to students who were willing to pay for them.

On an interview with the teachers, namely Ms Joanna Lee and Mrs Tan-chin, they found the activities to be very fun and entertaining. Furthermore, they were in consensus that the main purpose for such an even is to raise students’ awareness of the 3Rs and also to allow them to exercise the 3Rs for their own self-benefit (which is through the profits earned). And when asked if such events were to be organized again, both came to the conclusion that if this event is successful, then there is nothing to stop them from organizing another one.
