ASIA Pacific University of Technology and Innovation (APU) campus was a hub of activity and creativity as students came together to celebrate World Environment Day (WED) 2025, themed #BeatPlasticPollution.
The theme focuses on the toxic effects of plastic and how it has polluted every aspect of our life. Annually, about 11 million tons of plastic waste pour into water ecosystems worldwide.
The event organised by student-led club, Sustainability Future Fusion (SFF), brought together students, staff and community partners.
All those who attended WED were greeted by a variety of booths showcasing plants, terrariums and animal care awareness corners. Among the more popular workshops were terrarium-making and aquascaping, as many participants lined up to create their own individually designed miniature ecosystems.
Among the more unique systems created was a paludarium titled “Awakening”, a self-sustaining semi-aquatic ecosystem, where all the living elements and non-living elements interact with each other and are linked through nutrient cycles and energy flows.
