3 things you need to do at the Carrot Cause

The RWS Carrot Cause at Palio

Yes, carrots love Italian cuisine.

It’s Wednesday, 5pm, and the week seemed to have stretched impossibly long. We reckon a good way to break the seemingly unending marathon of work commitments would be to indulge in a good ol’ Tuscan dinner. Better yet, if you eat at Palio on 29 May at the RWS Carrot Cause, your money doesn’t even go to the restaurant – EVERYTHING will be donated to the charity of your choosing.

Here’re 3 ways to make the night even more enjoyable.

5 interesting carrot facts

The green and the blue at Resorts World Sentosa

We heard looking at greenery and clear blue skies is therapeutic

Imagine the day when lush greenery and clear blue skies no longer exist. Our planet is increasingly stressed; a part of the cause is undeniably attributed to the amount of food waste we produce every year. The more we waste, the more we are contributing to the production of methane, the culprit for the ever-increasing temperature trap on our warming planet.

The surprising thing is, food waste CAN be recycled – and no, we’re not talking about making birthday cards with leftover cooked macaroni and using soggy spinach as embellishments. We’re talking about converting food waste into non-potable water.
