ANSWER
Q1)Some of the things that schools in Singapore are doing in order to take care of the environment are, for science and social studies classes, some school are asking their students to bring electricity bills from home to track their month-to-month energy use and are teaching them to save energy and at Lakeside Primary School at least half its 600 primary 4 and 5 pupil take part in such an exercise too. Pupils of Elias Park Primary contribute fruit peels to the school's three compost bins and once a month primary 3 pupils bring fruit from home as part of a healthy-eating exercise as well as they then get to throw fruit waste into the worm compost bins, which convert food waste into fertilisers. At Marsiling Secondary, all lower secondary students take an environment-education module throughout those lessons they have learnt how the Earth has been harmed.
Q2) I think that one person's effort in reducing, reusing and recycling will not make a difference in saving the environment because if only one person saving the enviroment, thousand and millon of people are not reducing, reusing and recycling so there will not make a difference in saving the enviroment but i still play my part not to litter around and if my friends throwing litter on the floor i will tell to pick it up. The steps that i taken in the effort to save the earth are using 3R-reduce, reuse and recycle by turning off the fan or air-conditioner when i am not using, sometime use laptop instead or computer, turn off the light on day time, turn off the light at the time of 10pm, study doing the day or at night when the light on for everyone to use together, turn off the televison when nobody is using, sometime let my hair nature dry instead of using the hair dryer or fan, reuse a paper which still have a blank page, use a can to make a pen holder, reuse the old file, reuse exercise book to be a notebook, reuse plastic bags, recycle the newspaper or any magazine which i do not want and recycle the bottle or can.
