We have decided to ride on the existing idea of “the Earth Hour” and get the whole school to participate in our project. For that week, every class would switch off their lights or fans for one hour, depending on the weather.

This was really encouraging as it shows that this project has indeed created an impact in their lives. The number of classes that have forgotten to switch their lights and fans off after leaving their classrooms have decreased drastically as well. We feel that the actions by our school mates have proven that they are more aware of the impact they can create to the environment..
