As I was involved indirectly in both Hydroneptune and Greenity (Greenplug's new name), I've been pretty busy these days. I'm practically spending most of my time in the library doing paperwork, learning new things, and also getting myself to know the teams and helping them on their way under the supervision of Pn. Lim and Miss Ng.
And because of this, I'm on the bad records of my class teachers. At least until I go to each one of them and apologize along with showing them the memo that I'm going to get tomorrow morning from Pn. Lim. One of my particular teacher, my history teacher, Pn. NoraPiZzA!! is quite angry that I wasn't in class. I need to go to her and apologize to her personally because she takes her classes seriously. According to my classmate, she's not happy that I did not inform her where I was going. So, it is my fault for not having informed her.
Well, back to the task at hand...
For Hydroneptune:
- Has a laminated badge with its logo. Basically it's a laminated square-shaped badge with double-sided tape to stick onto the supporter's shirt.
- The badge, if not mistaken is sold for 50 cents for fund-raising to support the cost needed for buying a pump for their project in Taman Sains.
- Their project: Rearing fishes in the waterfall-like pond in the garden.
- Their method: Use the air-conditioned water from the staff room for the water in the pond. Of course, the water has to be filtered through a basic filter of rocks and sands.
- Motive: To preserve water and to show that air-conditioned water can actually be used in beneficial ways.
- Steps taken: As commented by Ryan, the mini cacti that Hydroneptune team gave out to the teachers on 07/07/09 were a symbolic sign of showing how little a water is needed for an individual such as a cactus to survive. This symbolises the preservation of water and also promotes awareness on minimal wastage of water.
- Working hard on implementing ideas for the piping system.
- Their project: Recycling papers.
- Sounds plain? Not at all.
- The process: Tearing the papers to bits and blending it with water. Starch, pandan flavouring and colouring is added to give the end product a pandan scent along with the green colour. The pulp is then placed in between two plastic films such that it does not stick onto the films and is then rolled flat. After rolling, the pandan scented flat sheet of recycled papers is then left to dry. Then, it will be cut into leaf shapes.
- The objective: The leaf-shaped pandan-scented recycled papers are then given to teachers for signing and will be placed onto a soft board made by the Greenity team members using recycled papers. If I'm not wrong, they are planning to sell off those leaves to help raise fund.
- Their motive: Recycling papers and raising awareness on the many ways that one can actually benefit from recycling unwanted papers as well as improving one's creativity as how the Greenity team members have thought of the leaf shape. *Also commented by Ryan*
- They are also planning to have a store room which will be named "Bilik Kitar Semula" especially just for collecting recyclable papers that are brought to school by students.
- So, students are urged to bring old newspapers, unwanted papers and any recyclable papers to school and put them in front of the room. Later at certain intervals or after school, one person will be in charge of opening the door and keeping the materials in the room. Basically, it's a storage for recyclable materials.
- One important highlight is that the Greenity team is trying to reach this goal of "1200 pandan-scented leaf-shaped recycled papers" which will be an amazing challenge for them.
*The price of the badge is RM2.00 and will be sold by the team members
*All Lasallians!! Go get your badges now and support their cause to save this world!! For all of us and also for the future generations!!
