Question 1
What are some of the things that schools in Singapore are doing in order to take care of the environment?

Question 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?


Answer:
Q1) The students of Lakeside primary for example has build a wind turbine and solar panel for their school's Eco-corner. Pupils from Elias Park Primary, also turned fruit and vegetable peels into food waste, which is also fertilisers. I think all this methods are quite environmentally-friendly as they are recycling waste materials into nutrients for plants, and using wind and light to generate electricity.

Q2) Yes, although his contributions has very little help to the environment, but if everyone were to be as considerate as he is, I belief that there will be a change in the environment. I do help out a little, by recycling aluminium cans after I finished my drink, reusing plastic bottles as water tumblers, and reducing the use of papers at home by using rough papers again.
