Hey:D
Fifthly,
Our thoughts on the reSACKel bags,
I think that this idea is great. Those ideas are fresh, it uses the sacks of rice the bags to create a shopping bag of everyone.
It has pictures and writings of it, which makes it more unique and special.
It has a lot of features like:
it benefits us like :

1. Reducing your future need for disposable plastic bags

2. The fabric of your bag is 100% reused plastic sacking. In addition, we use new nylon thread to stitch the bags, so this guarantees that they remains strong. The tags and the labels are also made out of unbleached paper sourced from a paper mill using managed forests. In conclusion, for every reSACKel bag you buy, you save one old sack and all the resources it took to manufacture it in the first place. Why use new fabric bags when you can reSACKel?

3. The reSACKeling process is simple, clean and efficient - so not only are you saving the resources it took to make the sack, but you are doing it in a way that does not require heavy industrial recycling processes.

These three ways are the benefits for it.
It is quite a good way of having one at home, it gave us a very strong impression.
Thus, if I tried it before, I would certainly encourage people to buy for cheap.

Fourthly,
those Green features that are being posted on the blog are great.
Those information about them, those ideas are unique and has its own special ideas.
We think that :
1. A pay-as-you-use billing system for the use of air-conditioning by its tenants,
This idea or this product is good. As it can save money and the enerrgy use. But it could be a problem that, the machine thatit use might have technical problems and it will cause people'sdis-sactisfaction. So, partly of it, I'll not quite recommended it to people.

2. Special glass panels that lower the amount of heat transmitted from the external environment,
we think that this idea is great as it will have like a UV protection on the glass panel. Moreover, we must also think of the consequences like it will cost more money if the whole building would have to use this special kind of technic of protcting the people's skin. But it is good, as most of the people, treat health as their important factor than money. But here, we talked about saving the environment, so we try to use something that is not wasteful but good and durable.

3. A rain water harvesting/recycling system,
we think that this is quite a good idea, and it can really help the people to save money to buy water. Thinking back, we used to buy water from other countries. But then, they threatened us, using the water way. Like: when the country increased the amount of money to pay for the water, we refused to pay, in the end, they threatened us to stop the water, which leads to no good end. This is very bad for people . So I would surely reocommend this way to help save the earth and make our own water to stop other countries from threatening us.

4. Green spaces "decorated" with paintings and potted plants,
we think that this might cost quite a sum, and its like not saving the Earth, its a very bad practise of ot saving any money, most importantly, we do not need to spend at this expense to buy and dercorate the place, this might waste quite a lot of materials and might need a lot of workers to help do this priject, overall, i think that this is not quite a good idea.

5. A ventilation system that channels more oxygen into different parts of the building when the level of carbon dioxide in the air rises,
It is quite a good idea to get a ventilation system in the buildings, as most of the time when offices and pantrys uses air-conditioners, it waste money and it hurts our body by breathing in the carbon monoxide that is given out by the air-conditioners. Nowadays, people tend to care about their health more than anything, so this is quite a great idea that I would certainly recommend it in buildings that have offices.

Most importantly, its saving the Earth and the environment.

Hey:D
Thirdly, the learning issues of saving the Earth and the Environment.
Just as we wrote previously:
1) Save the world by reuse, reduce and recycle.
2) Learning how to reuse, reduce and recycle.
These are the learning issues we typed and wrote in our FILA chart.

- How we came out with this idea of the learning issues?
We came up briefly what we want to do for the Earth, and we dicussed in a group. And came up with the idea of how to save the earth using the traditonal method of reusing, reducing and recyling.

- Why did we came up with this idea of the learning issues?
Because that we want to encourage the people, in saving the Earth and the environment. So these two issue, that we wrote and type is what we want the people living in this world ow, the basic method of reusing, reducing, and recycling. This can also enhanced the knowledge of small kids or even adults .

I'll stop here, and post another one. :D

Secondly, let's choose the right choice in saving the Environment.
-
question of the day! (:
-
How do we save the our planet Earth/Environment?

Just like the previous post we typed, we can save the earth or the environment by reusing, . reducing and recycling, we can make it a habit to halp save the earth. Like reusing, plastic bags
It can be used again to save costs and not wate anything. We can try to save anything, which is can be reusable and its like durable. Things can be durable, and most importantly, must be reusable. some things cannot be reused, because its already being used and its like dirty. Another component is that, reducing, is very important for everybody. Its like we can help reducing by reducing the amount of usage of plastic bags, or any other things. Another one is, that we can reycle, we can recycle by giving up all those recyclable items like newspaper, or cans or bottles , etc. So you can help by reducing, reusing and recyling. All this components' choices are in your hand now, choose the right choice. :DD

Here's some information about environment that we can follow.
FILA CHART;
-
The facts:
1) We have to save the environment/earth.
2) We have to encourage the people out there Reuse, Reduce and Recyle!

Ideas:
1) We can persuade those people out there to reuse, reduce and recycle.
e.g
> Like having a competition between those students.
> printing out advertisement[e.g TV or Magazines or even Newspaper.]
> Brochures
> Put it on the website.
> Having to put up a school presentation.

Learning Issues:
1) Save the world by reuse, reduce and recycle.
2) Learning how to reuse, reduce and recycle.

Action Plan:
1) Going to the nearby neighbourhood to get more recyclable items, and asking them to reuse, reduce and recycle.
e.g.
[some recyclable items]
> Newspaper
> Textbooks
> Plastic water bottle
> Cans
> Etc !

So, that's about all.
Will come post again, about environment/Earth.
Till then people!
Start doing your job and start doing the correct components today! :DD

Go Green With Us!
Hey, this is a blog created just for the project work.
Please have a look at this blog, and start going green with us!

Let's just start with Reuse,Reduce and Recycle!
We need to save the planet Earth by Reusing, Reducing and Recycling.
-
But what do we mean by Reusing?
Reusing is by using the things/objects over again, by saving money and effort.
For example, reuse the plastic bags. You can reuse it, by keeping the plastics bags when used in carrying groceries or some other stuffs we bought. We reused it by keeping it, after putting out all the things and reusing it again to put other stuffs in it, it is very convenient and durable by doing that. It can also save costs and not wasting the things that can be used again. This is an act of graciousness and scrimpness*. It can teach us not to waste anything, and reuse whenever it can. But for some materials, it cannot be reused, such as used dirtied tissue papers or glass, they are un-reused/ cannot be use again. So, we have to look out for those materials and start reusing today! :DD
-
As for Reducing, what on Earth is that?
Yes, reducing isn't it? Reducing means, not to use too much of those materials. So as to save and not waste those things, one needs to have a good attitude. If you were in a supermarket, and you demand more plastics bags to carry all the things seperately, but actually, there are a lot of space in each of them already, you actually demand more plastic bags to be given. <<< This act is not acceptable, one needs to be more scrimp, and not use too much. Just have to be balance up abit, and importantly, reduce the usage of the plastic bags as less as possible. It can also save costs of the plastic bags. Do y'all know why every Wednesday, we need to carry our own shopping bags and those supermarkets does not use plastic bags on that particular day? They wanted/remind us not to waste plastic bag. And wanted us to have a good habit of bringing our own shopping bags so as to save or reduce the use of plastic bags. I think that is it a very good idea for those people who laze around, not bringing their own bags, thinking that the supermarkets provides all their needs. But their sttitude are totally wrong/not correct. We must have a lesson learn before changing to a new leaf. This teaches us to be more reduced in a way that, our planet Earth does not need to waste to much materials. So, Please have your reducing habit started today! :DD
-
Okay, almost done. What do Recycling actually means?
Ah Hah, Recycling's the best part of all. Recycling means that you must recycle those recyclable items like newspaper, cans, bottles. These few items can be collected and they can bring more things to Earth. Like the new water the Singapore invented, the water that we drink (NewWater), its actually the waste from all parts of the resisdents from Singapore, it is then filtrate through a machine, then becoming pure clean water. It contains some chemicals which are quite helpful in a way that healthier drink. As I mentioned just now, cans, bottles and even newspapers can be recycled and become another useful things for us. Recycling is also a good habit for everyone, now in schools, everyone is encouraging people to take their unwanted stuffs along (Things that can be recycled) to school, to be recycle. This type of activity is good for the students, they need to have a good habit of giving up their unwanted stuffs to be recyled. This is great right? (: So, do your job, and start recycling then! :DD

These are examples and follow-ups for everyone, feel free to comment!
If y'all have any problems or quetions, tag on the tagboard, we will reply to you as soon as possible, alright! ;DD So, Stop dreaming, get started to go on reusing, reducing and recycling! ;DD
