Is it that easy, being green? Hmm.

I want to share this song with everyone:



From the very first season of Sesame Street, circa 1970.


It's not that easy being green
Having to spend each day the color of the leaves
When I think it could be nicer being red, or yellow, or gold
Or something much more colorful like that

It's not easy being green
It seems you blend in with so many other ordinary things
And people tend to pass you over
'Cause you're not standing out
Like flashy sparkles in the water
Or stars in the sky

But green's the color of spring
And green can be cool and friendly-like
And green can be big like a mountain
Or important like a river
Or tall like a tree

When green is all there is to be
It could make you wonder why
But why wonder why wonder
I am green, and it'll do fine
It's beautiful, and I think it's what I want to be



What You Have To Do

Before the end of Term 4 Week 1 (8 - 14 September), you should complete the following tasks:

1. Submit your brochure to your English Language teacher/s for assessment. Don't wait for them to bug you for it!

2. Post a new blog entry showcasing your brochure that has been created by your group. Include a few pictures of them.

3. AND AS USUAL, get your friends to inform us of the URLs of their group blogs and other details via email as soon as possible, if they have yet to do so. I will be assessing (that means assigning grades to) all group blogs listed on http://weloveprojectwork.blogspot.com this coming weekend.


Happy Blogging!

Reduce, Reuse & Recycle.

Click me!


From the reSACKel website:

Buying a reSACKel shopping bag means you are helping the environment in 3 ways:

1. Reducing your future need for disposable plastic bags

2. The fabric of your bag is 100% reused plastic sacking. In addition, we use new nylon thread to stitch the bags, so this guarantees that they remains strong. The tags and the labels are also made out of unbleached paper sourced from a paper mill using managed forests. In conclusion, for every reSACKel bag you buy, you save one old sack and all the resources it took to manufacture it in the first place. Why use new fabric bags when you can reSACKel?

3. The reSACKeling process is simple, clean and efficient - so not only are you saving the resources it took to make the sack, but you are doing it in a way that does not require heavy industrial recycling processes.


For more information, visit http://www.resackel.com/index.


What You Have To Do

Before the end of Term 3 Week 9 (18 - 24 August), your group should have completed the following tasks:

1. Complete the basic research necessary for you to begin creating your brochure.

2. Post a new blog entry on your impression and opinion of reSACKel shopping bags.

3. Ask your friends to inform us of the URLs of their group blogs and other details (e.g. their group names and form classes) via email as soon as possible, if they have yet to do so. They can send their emails to iloveprojectwork@hotmail.com.


Happy Blogging!

GWhiz!


GTower is a SGD$200+ million 30-storey office-retail-hotel development being built on 199, Jalan Tun Razak, Kuala Lumpur. It is slated to be officially opened only in 2009. More interestingly, it is the first building in Malaysia to achieve the globally recognised BCA Green Mark GOLD award (Provisional) from our very own Building & Construction Authority.

Now, the GOLD rating means that GTower is 20 per cent more energy-efficient than a normal building. Some of its green features are:

1. A pay-as-you-use billing system for the use of air-conditioning by its tenants

2. Special glass panels that lower the amount of heat transmitted from the external environment to the interior of the building

3. A rain water harvesting/recycling system

4. Green spaces "decorated" with paintings and potted plants

5. A ventilation system that channels more oxygen into different parts of the building when the level of carbon dioxide in the air rises


What You Have To Do

Before the end of Term 3 Week 8 (11 - 17 August), your group should have completed the following tasks:

1. Submit your FILA chart to your PW teacher/s for assessment before we bug you... -.-"

2. Post a new blog entry based on any of GTower's green features listed above. State the feature that impresses you the most, and explain why it is worth praising.

3. Ask your friends to inform us of the URLs of their group blogs and other details (e.g. their group names and form classes) via email as soon as possible, if they have yet to do so. They can send their emails to iloveprojectwork@hotmail.com.


Happy Blogging!
