ST Reflection 2009-Secondary 2E/NATerm 2, Week 3 (10th April 09)

Q1) What are some of the things that schools in Singapore are doing in order to take care of the environment?

The schools in Singapore requested the students to bring their home electricity bills to school so that they can control their monthly energy. Some of the schools bestow fruit peels to the school's three recycling bins.By this method, it converts food wastes into fertilisers. Commonwealth Secondary School has their own wetland which treats grey water from the bathrooms sinks. During lessons, the students will test how clean the treated water is and study the wetland's plats and animals.Students decided to ban cardboard boxes for them to takeaway from the canteen.

Q2)Do you think one person's effort in reducing, reusing and recycling will make a difference in saving the environment?What steps have you taken in the effort to save the earth?

- Yes, it can. With this person exercising this routine, he/she would tell the others or advise them to do it as well.For me, I have been putting plastic bottles into the recyling bin near my house. I am reducing my use of paper during school time and at home.
