we're 113'08 213'09.

take me to the sky;
welcome to 213'09's class blog♥

class mission:
to build a community of learners who have strong class spirit and develop ourselves to the fullest potential.

8:57 PM I tried to announce this in class...
but, well, only the front people actually bothered to listen to me
and a few of the back people

so now, i'm trying to announce this on the class blog
rightt...
we, the enviro people, (me aka Yun Zhen, Chelsea, Aileen, Melissa, Jodie, Chuning)
have come up with a PLASTIC BAG SYSTEM
uncreative name, i know.
so as you guys should know,
a certain teacher was complaining that our dustbin was platicbag-less
so, finally, enviro has decided to take action after 3 months MIA.
every single one of you who considers yourself a part of 113
is to bring a plastic bag every month.
we encourage you to bring supermarket plastic bags
like NTUC, Prime, Giant, Carrefour, Cold Storage etc.
but as long as the bags are big enough to hold the garbage in the dustbin,
we aren't going to kill you.

And as the name obviously suggests,
we have a proper system to go by.
On the last week of the month,
we will remind/warn you guys to bring plastic bags,
you can start bringing plastic bags on that week.
But, we would prefer you to bring plastic bags on the next week.
We will collect plastic bags on the warning week and the first three schooldays of the next week.
Please don't anyanyhow give to any enviro person,
you come and give to ME.
In case you suffer from premature senile dementia like me,
my name is YUN ZHEN.
i sit in the middle column of the class,
second row,
middle seat.
Don't give me a stupid excuse like,
"Oh, i couldn't give you my plastic bag because i forgot where you sit"
I'm gonna fine you.

fining. the really not nice (for you guys) part of our PBS (Plastic bag system)
to make sure you bring a plastic bag,
we are gonna implement fines.
fines means you pay money when you don't bring your plastic bag
or bring your plastic bag late.
nope, it's not gonna go into our pockets.
nope, it's not gonna go into the class fund.
I"LL EXPLAIN WHY.
don't freak out yet.
we are gonna go outside our classroom.
we are probably gonna donate the fines to some charity.
i think we would prefer if it does something related to the enironment,
but seriously, any charity works
i haven't confirmed which charity,
but you can be sure that it's not gonna be used to buy our lunches.
if you have a charity in your mind, spam my inbox

and what is the fining rate?
after the 3-day collection period, it means you are OVERDUE
10cents everyday, not counting weekends, school hols, and non-schooldays
I don't know if we are going to fine on Saturdays.
probably not.
DON"T COMPLAIN ABOUT THE FINES
we give you like, more than 8 days to bring, and remember to bring.
but, you probably won't end up paying fines, cuz you probably will remember to bring.

If there's any changes,
i'll announce it in the class blog
and will TRY to announce in class.

i think that's all.
lost and found is still kinda work in progress.
and if you are the kiasi kind,
it might help you to know that we don't collect September's plastic bags in April.
so no "in advance lah" kind of thing.
but you can stuff your whole year's supply of plastic bags in your locker.
We will collect plastic bags for Apr, May, Jul, Aug, Sep, and Oct.

Any questions on this, please approach me (again, I'm YUN ZHEN), Chelsea, or Melissa
cuz, the rest of enviro weren't there for the large part of the meeting.
yup, we'll deal with March ourselves, since there's not many days left.
if you wanna donate plastic bags, you can.
but, i think, as long as you guys bring plastic bags, we won't need extra.

and please, we don't appreciate the kind of "oh, our dustbin has been plastic bag-less for one whole term, why must we have plastic bags now kind of attitude." We can't do anything if you refuse to pay fines.
But, remember, this is YOUR class, 113. You're the one studying in it.
i don't think i left out anything, but you are free to spam my inbox on this great wonderful, awesome, PLASTIC BAG SYSTEM.
