OUR MISSION
What is the problem?
There are a lot of harmful gases released into the air caused by the burning of fuels to facilitate the high electricity usage.
What will you do about the problem?
We want to help to lower the amount of harmful gases released due to the burning to fossil fuels. We will raise awareness about the high levels of harmful gases there are in the atmosphere.
Why do you want to reduce this problem?
The many gases released in the process of burning fuels are harmful to the environment as well as to human’s health. By helping to reduce such emissions, we can help to save the environment.
Problem statement-
We are students of Crescent Girls’ School. We want to promote awareness among the public about the harmful effects of electricity wastage, and the amount of air pollution that they contribute to the environment. We will educate the public on ways to reduce energy wastage by putting up posters, and giving out brochures. By doing this, the amount of air pollution and electricity wastage will be significantly reduced due to the increase of knowledge and understanding.

ELECTRICITY WASTAGE IN OUR HOMES
Electricity wastage is a big problem, with fossil fuels being wasted as they are burned to generate electricity.
With the escalating fuel prices, electricity is not cheap, and it is not economical to waste electricity either.
The Uniform Singapore Energy Price jumped 17.7 per cent from March to hit $173 per megawatt hour (MWh) in April of 2008.
According to The Straits Times, wasted energy accounts for an average of at least 10 per cent of household bills in most countries, including Singapore.
This can be attributed to the three-fold increase in the number of households installing air conditioners.
The cost of leaving appliances plugged in while not using them can work out to $14.80 each month, or $177.60 a year for private apartments which spend an average of $148 a month on energy.
However, this wastage can be significantly cut down if we take note of it, and recognise potential wastage.
