Save the planet? This is a job for school kids…
(Part B – Home Section – Page B3)
1)What are some of the things that schools in Singapore are doing in order to take care of the environment?
The school tell the primary 4 and 5 student to track their month to month energy.they also educate the student on how to save energy through their science lesson.The Singapore Environment Council (SEC) and National Environment Agency also organise a project call the project carbon zero to reduce home use energy.Schools also emphasis on issues like energy conservation and climate changes.they also get the student to throw fruit waste into worm compost bins,which convert food waste into fertilisers.
2)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?
i)No,a person would help but if everyone does their job it will help a lot as a phase said "Every person counts"this sentence mean although one person could do a lot of thing but it is impossible for one to save the earth as every one is counted to the saving of earth.This is possible if everyone do a little bit of what they wanted to do for saving the earth like picking up the litter you see and using lesser water when doing things This will help a lot even if just a litter it will also cause disaster or something like that to happen .The most common one is drought and global warming as it is true that the ozone layer have a hole so people please help a little bit. you see you may think even if you help in saving the earth but think carefully the world have more than 15 billion of people,a quarter of this should enough for us to dissolve global warming or maybe we can fix the hole in the ozone layer.
This are some of the way we can help...
