ONE STEP TO SAVING THE WORLD
Student make a biodegradable environmentally friendly bag to minimize plastic bag usage

By Mohammad Aliff Bin Azmi

Sports schools, Singapore - A total of seventeen student of class 5A make a biodegradable bag as part of their geography projects. This project took up the whole module three of the semester.

The idea of making the bag came by none other than Singapore Sports School geography teacher, Ms Clare Wee.

“I want to see their creativity in designing a biodegradable bag. So far, I’m impressed with the work they have put in.” commented teacher-in-charge, Ms Clare Wee.

The main objective of this project is to create a sense of awareness among students with regards to the importance of saving the environment.

One effective way is by using the three ‘R’ that represent Recycle, Reuse and Reduce. By taking this small step it can provide a giant leap in the effort to save the environment.

These student sew a cotton fabric into 32cm x 30cm x 16.5cm environmentally friendly multi-purpose bag and design it to bring across the message of saving the environment. They use cotton fabric, as it is biodegradable hence it will not pollute the environment.

After four weeks of decorating and sewing the bags, they have come up with five different designs.

“We had fun making the bags and decorating It.” Said one of the students of class 5A, Abel Quek Woon Teck.

Producing of this bag is to spread out word to the schools that the amount of plastic bag usage is increasing drastically and is contributing to the amount of total carbon emission, which leads to Global Warming.

Therefore, it is important that every single one of us plays a part and minimizes as much plastic bag usage as possible. Thus, this may eventually be a stepping-stone in whole energy conservation campaign, and instill a responsible and proactive attitude in every, single, Singaporean.
