The Current SituationSingapore’s recycling effort is

severely lacking in our neighbourhoods. There is little

effort put into encouraging people to recycle their waste

materials!

Our ConsiderationsWe went through the Basic Pattern of Thinking for Basic Pattern of Thinking for

InquiryInquiry with our FacilitatorsInitial Problematic Situation – ‘Seeing’ the

task closelyInitiating Ideas from the task – ‘Asking’

the issues raisedBrainstorming for Ideas – ‘Thinking’ about

alternativesReasoning & Exploring – ‘Talking’ to

different people to find out moreEvaluating – ‘Making’ our decision

Our Alternatives1. Start a ‘Give and Take’ storybooks

campaign - exchanging old storybooks which are still in good condition.

2. Promote a school recycling/ environmentally conscious culture – only use recycled paper/materials.

3. Collect old material (clothes, books) and give them to the lower-income families in Pasir Ris Primary School.

Our SolutionIn order to solve the problem, we have

decided to promote environmental awareness in our school

Hence, we are going to organise the

Our ReasonsAccording to the School Librarian,

there are many old and unwanted books that are still in good condition

We want to continue our recycling efforts in the school in raising our schoolmates’ awareness in the environment

We also want to encourage our schoolmates to read more widely.

What Our Project is all about…This campaign is all about

exchangingexchanging books with your friendsSimply bring a book from home and exchange it with another book with your friends

Or you can simply put your books in the shelves near the Speakers’ Corner for others to exchange

We ideate…

1. The books must be in good condition (eg The pages must not be torn or dirty) in order to qualify for the Give & Take Campaign

2. Any book not qualified will be given away

3. The borrowed library books cannot be exchanged

We did this…

• Worked with Mrs Caroline Silva, Library Coordinator

• Put up signage and arrange books for exchange

• Advertise in Ezi-Announcer

Results

• A range of books in different languages for exchange

Positive Outcomes1. Through this effort, we are sure that we

have helped the Earth by: reducing the number of trees cut down

to print books reusing old books instead of throwing

them away saving money saving electricity needed for the

printers to print the books

2. We have also helped encourage our schoolmates to read more books. Reading widely is definitely a plus

3. Also, this campaign has allowed pupils to get a chance to exchange books with their friends; without even spending a cent to read more books

The next lap....We hope to continue this project by dedicating a day for every Pasirian to exchange books with one another
