Straits Time Reflection 8

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

A1:
Some things that schools in Singapore are doing in order to preserve the environment, for example is to educate their pupils to reduce, reuse and recycle used materials like glass, paper and plastics. Besides this, some students from Elias primary bring their own fruits from home as part of a healthy eating exercise and then get to throw fruit waste into the worm compost bins, which convert food waste into fertilisers. Other than these, schools are including environmental educations during their lessons such as geography, science and social studies.

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?

A2:
Yes it will because if a person help in reducing, reusing and recycling, it will certainly make a difference in saving the environment. Before I knew about the 3Rs, I happened to litter but when i learnt about the 3Rs I tried not to litter as this could destroy the natural habitat mother nature have given to us and also it could destroy the Earth's beauty and maybe these could be a part of a global warming. If we humans are still stubborn and to continue with their habit of littering, we could actually attract pests which caries dieseases that could harm our lives. If we want to save our Earth from becoming 'extinct', we should all do our part by not littering our Earth and instead use the 3Rs- Reuse, Reduce and Reycle.
