Community & Service Project - Recycling





Community & Service Project - Recycling



My commmunity and service project was about improving the recycling programme in the school itself.

I chose this project because I thought that the environment is for all animals and it affects the generations that come after us, it affects the future globally. I found that many people at school just throw plastic bottles and tin cans into the canteen's or the classroom's rubbish bins.

I put bins around the school, but the one that was useful was only the one in math class. So I collected and clear that bin along with paper recycling bins from other classes so they aren't full the whole time. I posted some facts and statistics on the canteen wall for attention and awareness.

It wasn't the most successful project. I problems with changing the statistics regularly, starting the project itself was hard as I couldn't decide my project and I was busy at the beginning of 2015 (interviews, tests, MUN...). I also encountered challenges where people just don't notice the posters or the bins even if they were right in front of them.

Though I learnt a lot. This was one of my reminders to start earlier and plan my time wisely. It also changed my opinions that partners are more helpful than I thought they were. I also learnt that action should be done and less time should be put on decisions.

On the presentation day, I had a slide that introduced what I do, why I did it, how I did it, what I learnt, and what I will do next time (improvements). Moreover, I had a video to alert people the situations we have today, combined with some facts, seriousness of pollution today, music for self-reflection, with some habits we can change to make a change. I also had a slide people can scroll through with their own will for more details of daily habits that we often don't realize is harmful to the environment.
