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?Answer: Some schools are asking their students to bring electricity bills from home to track their month-to-month energy use and areteaching them to save energy. Some school even stepping up themselves,the emphasis on issues like energy conservation and climate change.The emphasis on environment education is 'timely, given the growingawareness of environmental issues around the world'. Some schools alsocontribute fruit peels to the school's three compost bins, which convertfood waste into fertilizers. Commonwealth Secondary has its own wetlandwhich treats grey water from bathroom sinks. Students test how clean thetreated water is and study the wetland's plants and animals. At another secondary schools, students decided that cardboard takeaway boxes in the canteen should be banned. Students and teachers bring their own boxes topack their food instead.
Q2) Do you think one person's effort in reducing, reusingand recycling will make a difference in saving the environment?What steps have you taken in the effort to save the earth?Answers: No. We must be united. Majority wins. The more the people are, the more chance of successing. Everyone is important, not only one person. And everyone is responsible for it, not only one person. I used lesser electricity and turn off lights and fan whenever not in use. I use less paper, and reuse/recyle them.
