113 SERVICE LEARNING PROJECT – transportation
class-by-class
announcement
Good morning / afternoon , we are from class 113 and we’re here to share with you our Service Learning
project. Basically, our concern is the build-up of traffic along Anderson Road
before morning assembly, which causes some students to be late for school.
Our class conducted a Green Audit last term which involved counting the
number of cars and we found out that about 48 more of our school mates take
private transport everyday. Although this might seem an insignificant number, it
is our observation that these pupils take their time getting out of their cars,
causing the large jam along Anderson Road which we face every day.
Our
solution to this problem is to encourage parents and students alike not too stop
for too long outside the main gate, and also to encourage students to take
public transport, because according to The U.S. Department of Health, Education
and Welfare, automobiles account for approximately 48% of the carbon monoxide,
32% of the nitrogen oxides, and 59% of the hydrocarbons in the atmosphere, while
a fully occupied bus would emit only three-quarters of that amount of fumes.
Also, the cost that you spend is less too, because, for example, the total
amount of money that you spend on maintaining your car per month is less than
how much the bus fees might cost per month.
We hope that in the last few
minutes we have given you something worthwhile to think about this morning /
afternoon. Remember, a little goes a long way, and by taking public transport
you are not only doing the environment good, you are also saving others a bit
more of their time.
Thank you. (Time for FAQ might be
given.)
