Discussion with BryceOkay... I was on the phone with Bryce. This is his insightful opinion:
1) Our scope is
huge.
We might not be able to
cope with it
2)
Water
This clashes with with bryce's group. Bryce group is doing water conservation and ecosystems. He would be installing
water-efficient taps in school toilet.
3)
Waste ManagementByorn's group is doing
food waste monitoring. So we can do plastic bottle recycling and paper recycling. By The Way, Bryce wants the plastic bottles for his Youth For Causes project.
4)
Electricity conservationYong Qin group is doing
electricity ONLY.
So what is left is "back to square 1". We will be doing paper and plastic bottle recycling. What is left now is to decide on the system of collection of platic bottles and paper. Next we must decide on what to do to the bottles and recycled paper. For the bottles, we would be using it for "a good cause" (Youth for Cause). So do we want to reduce our scope of the project? Pls comment on the taggy...
