Reflections 8
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?
- Some schools are including environmental educations during their geography, science and social studies lessons. Such examples are topics on global warming and ozone depletion for geography lessons and knowledege of track and reduce of electricity bills for social studies.
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?
- Yes, it will make a difference. Reducing helps to cut short of the majority of production of non-biodegradable materials which are harmful to earth if burned. Reusing disposal needs helps companies to save cost, energy and resources.Thus, there will be lesser demands for these products and therefore, lesser resources are needed to manafacture these products. Recycling products helps to prevent wastage of useful materials , reduce energy usage and etc. Recycling also helps to prevent lesser waste from being dumped into landfills which might cause water pollution and burning waste at the incinerator might cause air pollution. I have thrown newspapers inside a recycling bin in school , reusing plastic bottles , utensils , reducing electricity wastage and water wastage.
