the F.I.L.A. chart
Facts
-Singaporeans keep littering everywhere
Ideas
-Put CCTV all around Singapore so that when the people litter on the floor, then the police can catch the culprits easier.
-If one day there isn't any litter found on the floor, everyone will have a holiday.

This bag is very familiar to us at first when mr yeo our pw teacher just show us.Then when mr yeo explained to us, then finnally we know that it is made of old rice sacks.
That is very special and unique.
It can be our shopping bag and it had millions and billions of uses.
"Although i dont look so pleasing,but helping the earth is more important" we said.I think that this bag is a very good invention,strong and waterproof.We also think that 'humans' should use more of these materials or reusable items to create more of these daily products.So that natural resoures will not run out so fast.

Green Building

1. A pay-as-you-use billing system for the use of air-conditioning by its tenants

Nowadays, electricity is expensive and when people live in hotels or etc, they will treat the air- condition as things that are free and they will switch it on for a long period of time when not in use.
So, if the company pay all the bills for the peoples, people will make use of it more than if they
pay their bills themselves. They will surely save as much as they can when they pay the bills
themselves. This idea will help the world to conserve more natural resources for our grand, or grands.

2. Special glass panels that lower the amount of heat transmitted from the external environment to the interior of the building

This is to reduce the amount of heat in the interior of the building. It will make people to turn
the temperature of the air-conditioner higher and as every degree is rised, about $20 per year
will be saved.

3. A rain harvesting/recycling system

This activity conserve lots of water but some people may not like it for the seek of cleanliness
and hygiene purposes.

4. Green spaces "decorated" with paintings and potted plants

This make the places more cooling as plants gives off water vapour and in the morning,
droplets will be found. The paintings make the places more attractive and colourful.

5. A ventilation system that channels more oxygen into different parts of the building when the level of carbon dioxide in the air rises

If the carbon dioxide in the offices/hotels is more than the usual
requirement, oxygen will be pumped into the offices/hotels.

The reduction of its negative impact on the environment.....

2008-08-25T05:22:00.001-07:00

Deforestation and pollution have affected the air , water , land as the earth is getting warmer and the weather had changed .

We can reduce , reuse and recycle materials such as plastics , paper and metals to minimise harm to the environment.We can also use less fuels such as petrol etc and while doing that , we can also think of using other energy sources that so not produce harmful gases .

The negative impact on the environment

2008-08-25T05:14:00.001-07:00

The ozone layer is now getting thinner and thinner due to the harmful human activities that we do everyday. Humans harm the environment which will lead to deforestation and pollution.

Deforestation will lead to a state where there will be a loss of living things , soil erosion , global warming .

Loss of living things
Besides killing trees , deforestation has caused may living things to lose their shelter and food source . This is because trees are the habitats of many animals and plants . Trees also provide food to many animals . Without shelter and food , animals and plants will die .

The bad impact of cutting down trees
A lot of people wonder what is so bad of cutting down trees as they can grow back again .Althoughs tress can be grown back again , it may take a very long time for a forest to recover.This is because other living things and non-living things are also destroyed when a forest is cleared.

Soil erosion
Soil erosion is the removal of soil by wind and rain .

There will be a cause of pollution because people litters their rubbish everywhere and everyday , people smokes and the air released by the factories are harmful and poisonous that can cause eye irritation and damage our respiratory system which will cause lung cancer which is bad for our health . Burning of forest also can cause haze . Haze affects our health because it can cause us to have eye irritation and breathing difficulties .
Those air released by the factories also can cause acid rains . This will also lead to loss of marine lives and also it will contaminate our water supplies . Acid rain reacts with stones and cause stones to corrode and will also react with other substances .They will spoil buildings and outdoor structures. Man-made chemicals / natural resources can lead to both land and water pollution too !
