Some of them will be packed by the Community Chest and Yellow Ribbon Project beneficiaries and Institute of Mental Health patients as a rehabilitation activity.

About 135,000 packs will be distributed at the National Education shows, the preview and the parade.

Another 10,000 red and white special-edition packs will be given to those who donate at least $15 to the Community Chest.

And to share the eco-responsibility message, most non-food items in the pack are recycled or recyclable - from the plastic poncho to the heart-shaped torch and drum.

Spectators who take the plastic torch and drum to Mr Bean soya bean snack outlets for recycling before Aug 31 will receive discounts on food items.
