SOME MEASURES TO FUFIL THE 3Cs

CONSERVE

SCHOOL
Ø After consuming the beverage from the drink packet, we should wash them and flatten them before recycling it into the bins that collect drink packets.
Ø After drinking the bottled drinks, wash them also and dispose the clean bottles into the bins provided in school.
Ø Introduce CIP activities e.g. picking up dead leaves, collecting rubbish in the school compound or Singapore parks, go around neighbourhood flats to collect old newspapers, which can be used to process new paper that is recycled.
Ø There must be frequent reminders to off the lights and fans in classroom so to conserve electricity.
Ø The air- con temperature in the hall, staff room and general office must not be lower than 24 degrees Celsius. This will also save electricity.
Ø Canteen vendors should wash the utensils when their load that collects utensils is full. This is to prevent the waste of water.
Ø In the canteen, the canteen vendors should not provide plastic utensils but instead metal ones that are non- disposable.
Ø Encourage teachers to use double side printing of materials to save paper
Ø The paper that prints consent form should be changed to used paper that is processed to recycled paper.

HOME
Ø Use light- saving bulbs
Ø On the fan instead of the air- con
Ø Turn off water heater after bathing
Ø Take a shower instead of a bath
Ø Use a mug when brushing teeth
Ø Turn off the shower when soaping
Ø Use water from washing the rice to flush the toilet or water the plants

CONVEY

SCHOOL
Ø During assembly programmes, there should be more activities to encourage students to practice the 3Rs.
Ø Hold a 30- min session weekly to let teachers convey the message of conservation to students so that they have a better understanding.
Ø Draw posters on conservation and paste them in school.
Ø Have more competitions regarding the environment to get students and staff involved.

HOME
Ø Students should bring the message of conservation back home to spread it to their family and friends.

COOPERATE
Ø To save the earth, will more or less take some effort.
Ø We should not find conservation as troublesome as we should think far for the younger generation. What would happen if they live on an Earth which is damaged and the resources are used up.
Ø Therefore we should be considerate.
Ø No matter how messages of conservation are conveyed, if no one cares, the effort taken would be wasted.
Ø With everyone involved and cooperating in conserving and conveying, the Earth would thus become a better place for everyone.
