A dirty or a clean environment, which one do you choose? It is obviously the clean right? We can keep Singapore litter free and a clean and green island. To hit the target of litter free, everyone must play an important role. Littering cause harm to the environment. Currently, the ozone layer is depleting. As a result, harmful sun rays are entering through it. This have caused global warming.
These sun rays are harmful to our skins and can cause skin cancer. I attended a lesson to be an environmental champion. They showed a video on INCONVENIENT TRUTH. The video is very interesting. There is this guy presenting on the increase of temperature. Many icebergs melt and lots of glacier keep on falling down into the water. Nowadays, landfills are also being used up and Singapore is also a very small island which is almost completely full. In the olden days, people make use of things and not throw it away because of trend, they throw the thing away is when the thing is unable to use. Not like nowadays, going with the trend and not the use of it, but the look of it. Reusing and recycling of the product can also help with the environment. We should play our part for recycling too. Our school already plays a part of teaching us how to play our part. So we must be a environmental ambassador. Spreading around messages of how to reduce, reuse and recycle to our relative, love ones etc. In other country, like japan, people over there hold on to their rubbish until they see a rubbish bin. Unlike some of the Singaporeans throwing their litter everywhere.
On the whole, everybody must play their own part on saving the environment. The least that we can do to reduce the harm to save the environment is by using lesser plastic bag and if possible, use recycled bags, using public transport . Therefore, it is a shared responsibility when it comes to protecting our environment. We should be responsible for our own actions. This is where we belong and we should help to keep this place a clean one for everyone to live, play and work in.

GROWTH CAMP
18 march to 20 march
On the 18 march 2008, i went to a MOE campsite in Jalan Bahtera. That place was sweet. It was the first time i attend growth camp outside school. I was thrilled with excitement and joy. When we reached there, we were introduced to our instructors. My instructor's name is Travis. All the instructor know me because my cousin is one of the instructor too. But fortunately, they did not pin point on me. Most of our activities was outdoors, but due to wet weather, we were told to do wet weather programmes. Luckily, our instructor was well prepared. We learn lots of songs and cheers. We challenged other teams, see whose voice and team spirit was better. We sleep in huts in the night and we can hear lots of creatures making noises. Creatures such as frogs, lizards, insects, etc.
The next day, we went to do our daily stuffs and feeling energize. Today is the day that we kayak. When we heard this good news, we jumped for joy and out spirit was at tip top condition. Sadly, due to the bad weather, we were unable to kayak. Our spirits dampened when we heard the bad news. What an unlucky day. Later the rain subsided. To our surprised, we were told that we were able to kayak. We rushed to change and wear our gear and head towards the kayaking station. We took our kayak and head to sea. We could see other country from there. What a spectacular view. We kayak happily and time really fly. We head back to shore and took our bath. We quickly make our dance and then we must perform later at the campfire. Although there are quarrels and other dispute, we persevere and carry on. The campfire came. We were excited, when is our turn? when is our turn? Finally, it is our turn. We gave whatever we got and we show our true colours. Soon the campfire was put out. We head back to our hut and sleep.
The last day had arrived. We miss our instructor deeply. Travis was a good instructor.He teaches us lots of morale value. We leave the place and wave good bye to our instructor. We had a great time at the 3 day 2 night camp. What a GROWTH CAMP......
