During tuition today, my tuition teacher started reinforcing on the importance of having the knowledge of environment issues that are going on in our global earth. In the course of the lesson, there was this mention of carrying out an event in school which will help to create awareness in the school children. It was carried out successfully in a school in Singapore. It was a "No cleaner week" whereby the cleaners of the school would not be present for a week. Students would then be in charge of their school's cleaniness. They would then have to be responsible for the mess they create and thus they would have to clear up after themselves. Very often, it would be taken for granted that the cleaners would clean up after the students. In the event, the students would then be exposed to being responsible for their own clean studying environment. They would be able to understand what the cleaner have to go through everyday and then be more responsible in the way that they handle their waste materials.
We might want to consider executing this event in our school so to help our fellow schoolmates to raise awareness.
