Our impression and our Opinion of the reSACKle Bag
We feel recycled bag is very simple in design
It is durable and can be reused for many times,at the same time,we do not waste resources
We also believe that it is one of the most environmentally friendly reusable shopping bags
The process is actually clean,simple and efficient
we can take old used sacks and convert them into colourful new shopping bags
It can also reduce our future need for disposable plastic bags
It does not require heavy industrial recycling processes.
we are very impressed on the reSACKle bags as well as its processes.
For e.g. Plastic sacking is easily cleaned, simply wipe with a damp cloth to remove the majority of dirt and grime. Unlike many cloth bag alternatives, you don’t need to worry about spills or grime ruining your bag. Another example is that there are lots of designs for the reSACKle bags
And we can make sure that we can have our favourite designs with us at all times(:
It is perfect for the weeks groceries as the shopper is big enough to carry the groceries you would normally get in 3 disposable bags.
In conclusions,we all feel that the reSACKle bag is an excellent and brillant idea
It is a wonderful product and at the sametime,we are also helping to keep the waste out too:)

Using Less, Getting More
Conserving energy does not mean changing your lifestyle drastically. You do not need to read under the moonlight or take cold showers just to save electricity. Instead, energy conservation today is all about energy efficiency: doing the same things with just a fraction of the energy. It is about doing more with less. And why it pays to be energy efficient.
How Climate Change Affects Us
Climate change is not only a problem for polar bears. Every Singaporean should be concerned. Here is what we might face:
· Rise in sea level
· Hotter days and nights
· Higher food prices due to climate change in countries we import food from
· Change of weather patterns, such as more frequent heavy rainfall
· Resurgence and spread of infectious diseases
Why Is Our Climate Changing?
All of us are responsible for this! Every time we switch on an electrical appliance, we contribute to climate change. That is because in Singapore, electricity is generated mainly by burning fossil fuels, which produces carbon dioxide or CO2. Excess CO2 in the air traps more heat from the sun, causing climate change.
How You Can Fight Climate Change!
Use electricity wisely and you can reduce CO2 emissions drastically! Besides, with today’s energy efficient technologies, conserving energy is a breeze. Better yet, you can help your parents save on the electricity bills!
Why should we cut down electrical and water bills?
Most school buildings across the world are constructed keeping strength, safety, aesthetics, utility, and economy in mind. They have not been built with the health of the surroundings and the occupants in mind. These have fewer windows (they have air-conditioning system), are made of concrete and metal and have carpets to texture the floors. The traditional process and systems are energy intensive, water intensive; generate a lot of waste and deplete non-renewable sources. Introduce awareness amongst children -- Children should be made aware of their responsibility towards the ecological systems. They need to realize at an early age that every action of theirs has an impact on the environment.

Are you thinking of how to help your parents save money on the electrical and water bills or cut down the electrical and water bills? Here are some tips to save you from thinking
· Set the thermostat to 78°F for more energy efficiency. Every degree above that can save an additional 5-8% off energy costs.
· Plant native shade trees on the east, west and south sides of your house, especially where the A/C compressor is. Shade trees can reduce your A/C costs up to 30%!
· Look out for leaks by checking your water meter for changes when no water is being used. If there is a change, you have a leak. Repair leaks ASAP – a small leak can waste 70-100 gallons of water per day.
· Switch computers and other electrical equipment off when not in use.
· School buildings can be designed to emphasize "day lighting," or the use of natural light. The last person leaving a classroom turns off the lights and computer monitors are switched off when not in use.
· Systems are designed to reduce wastage of water and encourage reuse of wastewater for watering plants. The overhead tanks are regularly monitored. A rainwater tank can be installed. The schools plumbing systems needs to be checked regularly for leaking taps and pipes.
· Switch to compact fluorescent lamps (CFL) to save energy. They last up to 10 times longer than standard bulbs and can save about $15 per bulb a year*.
