Mrs Keisuke Cherie, 32 years old, has a 7 year old daughter and a Japanese husband. Mrs Keisuke’s family lives in a private property terrace house at Leith Park road. She is also a full time housewife while her husband works in a foreign company as a manager. Her daughter attends primary 1 in a local school. Her hobbies are basically baking, cooking and doing art and crafts.

Mrs Keisuke has to wake up 6am in the morning to prepare her daughter for school and her husband for work. She has to bring her daughter to school and get home to do laundry. Then during the afternoon she will head out to meet her cousin who is also a housewife for lunch as they both live near. Then, she will also head to SerangoonNex Mall for groceries shopping at the supermarket. She loves baking and cooking stuffs. She will prepare some tea break snacks around late afternoon and fetch my daughter from the student care. She will prepare dinner during evening. After dinner, she will spend time guiding her daughter doing school work, or do some art and craft with her. She will spread out the house chores through the week. She will also do some baking or having some crafts session over the weekends with her daughter and sisters.

She does not have much recycle knowledge. She does not recycle at home, she only recycles when she sees recycle bin on streets or public places. The reasons she does not recycle at home because she does not really know what to do with the trash if she wants to recycle them. There will be a big garbage bin outside each house but they are not recycling bins, and that is the only bin she can disposes the trash. Therefore it is too inconvenient for her to recycle. She does craft work at home, there will be lots of unwanted materials, but it is too difficult to sort all the small pieces just to recycle them. Rubbish were all thrown together, there are mixture of rubbish such as paper, wrappers, leftover food and many more, she finds that it is tough to sort them all out.
