SUMMARY FOR WEEK 2 ♻️

e025238 — 2021-01-16 14:06:42 UTC

For this week, my group members are trying to apply the 3R stands for Reduce, Reuse and Recycle. Firstly, Naqiuddin started to avoid himself from using plastic straws because it has negative impact on marine life such as the turtles.So, Naqiuddin use reusable bamboo straw instead of plastic straw. There are more alternatives such as the metal straw but he use bamboo straw because it is more natural and has no sharp edges. Next, Siti started to recycle her cans into new products. She turns the cans into a pens holder which is help to save resources, money and energy. Meanwhile, Alif started off his actions by recycling the eggshells into an organic fertilizers. Recycling the eggshells is a way improving ecosphere which it’s reduces need of management of waste. Lastly, Faiz bought the refill one to reuse the old bottle. So, he can reduce the use of bottles. In conclusion, all of theirs actions help sustain the environment for future generations and can be apply in our lives.🪴🤩

e023380 — 2021-01-23 11:41:55 UTC

I use towel instead of tissues to wipe my wet hands because it is easy to wash and reuse. ✌️😉

SUMMARY FOR WEEK 3 💚

e025246 — 2021-01-23 12:07:23 UTC

Continuing our attempt to implement the 3R in our daily lives, for week 3, my friends have done amazing attempts in order to accomplish our goal. Firstly, Fariha reused gift box to arrange and organize her items such as beauty products. Not only did her items are structured and more organized, reusing the gift box is also better for the environment instead of throwing it away. This is because, it will help to reduce single-use cardboards, thus reducing amounts of solid waste in landfills although cardboards are easily decomposed. Secondly, Alif recycled a mineral bottle as a vase for flowers instead of throwing the bottles away. Not only it is low-cost and money saving, it also helps to reduce the amount of garbage that would possibly thrown into the ocean and promotes a sustainable lifestyle. Next, Faiz use a reusable towel instead of going for toilet papers or tissues. Reducing the usage of toilet papers and tissues helps to reduce the amount of tree-cutting and also lessen the amount of waste in the house as tissues are mostly non reusable. Lastly, Siti recycled some of her old magazine and creatively made it as a design for phone cases which can also reduce the amount of waste.

I made a DIY phone case using old magazines.💚

Second, Naqiuddin’s mom sews the reusable shopping bag so he could reduce the usage of plastic bags when he goes to the groceries. Here are some big advantages of reusable grocery bags, cost-effective where is you can use that shopping bags for years and never throw them away and if they get dirty, it’s simple to wash and keep on using it. And also, simple to carry. Carrying a reusable bag with a comfortable. No more cuts on your hands from plastic bag handles. Next, Faiz prefers to use lighter than matches because the gas in the lighter can be refilled while the trees have to cut down to produce matches.

SUMMARY FOR WEEK 5 🦋

e023380 — 2021-02-06 09:23:35 UTC

Generally this week my friends continue our first goal of implementing 3R in our daily life. First for all, Naqiuddin has recycled the unused phone box and used it as a place for his cat to eat. He has cultivated a loving attitude among the creatures while successfully avoiding wastage, kill two birds with one stone 😉. Second, Alif has recycled skewers from coconut fronds to be used as a broom skewers so that it is easy for him to help his mother clean their yard. Good attitude successfully nurture only by producing broom skewers 😏. Next, Fariha customized her unused headphones box to produce remote holder. This method is very effective in preventing the loss of remote control because we believe that most people have the same problem, so we can use this solution to prevent that problem 😁. Lastly, Siti made a cable organizer just using a straw. This method is so easy to maintain the position of the cable so that it does not twist and complicated her daily life while avoiding wastage of straws 🤯.

To continue our efforts to achieve our first goal which is the practice of 3R attitudes in daily life. We start with fariha, she has used the maggi cup again as a container🤩. Thus we can create a conducive environment for 3R attitude practices. Next, siti uses part of the bottle to make a plastic bread lid🧐👍🏻. Therefore, the bread will be able to be stored properly. Next, Faiz has taken the attitude of reducing the cost of electricity by using a fan in hot weather only👏🏼👏🏼🥶. That way he can reduce the cost of electricity bills. Finally, naqiuddin changed the glass jar to be used as a seasoning for food and spices😋🥵. Conclusion for this week, my friend has practiced 3R attitude in daily life very well👍🏻👍🏻.

avoid wasting water when brushing your teeth in the early morning by limiting the use of water to one cup of water only.

Avoiding food with carbon footprint

naqiualipudin — 2021-02-28 01:25:10 UTC

I made this 2 ingredients (flour and water) chicken substitute dish called Seitan that tastes really similar with chicken patty with various spices to reduce consumption of poultry products and also an attempt to #GoVegan 💚💚

Eat less meat✅✨

e025258 — 2021-02-28 01:31:53 UTC

I can try limiting my meat dishes to one meal per day, going meat-free one day per week, or testing out vegetarian or vegan lifestyles.

SUMMARY FOR WEEK 7 🌸

e025238 — 2021-02-28 14:24:39 UTC

For week 7, Alif still continue his action on 3R activities which is reducing the use of water in daily lives. For example, we should turn off the water when we brushing our teeth because it can contribute the waste of water. Next, Naqiuddin started his action on new goals which is avoiding food with high carbon footprint. As we can see, Naqiuddin use only 2 ingredients which is water and flour to make chicken substitute dish which called Seitan. Meanwhile, Siti also started off her action with avoiding food with high carbon footprint. Siti ordered chicken chop as a dish to eat because she want to limit herself from eating meat. Lastly, Faiz made a tortilla wrap that filled with vegetables as an action to avoid meat. From Naqiuddin's, Siti' and Faiz's action, we can conclude that they tried to avoid meat as a main dish because meat contributes to the green house emission. The action might be hard to apply in daily lives but if we practices to do continuously, it can change our lifestyle and can help to save our earth.☺️🌏

Love Vegetables 🥕🥦

e023380 — 2021-03-01 02:27:50 UTC

SUMMARY - WEEK 8 🌤

e025246 — 2021-03-11 13:43:02 UTC

As we continue our little steps to achieve both of our environmental goals, Fariha, Siti and Faiz did a very great job in avoiding foods with high carbon footprints such as meat and poultry. Fariha had a luscious Laksa Penang, a dish consists of fish broth and various types of greens for lunch as her first step to reduce the consumption of meat. Next, Siti slowly changes her diet into a more plant-based dishes, promoting a healthy lifestyle and also better for the environment. Meanwhile Faiz also practiced a healthy, plant-based foods by having sandwiches that is packed with veggies for his breakfast. Not only their action could be really helpful for the better environment, but it also a very brilliant way to live a healthy life. Lastly Alif attempted to achieve our first goal, one of the 3R which is to reduce cellphone use by managing the screen time from his phone setting. Not only it is a way to save electricity, it also helps him to be more productive instead of looking at his phone all day long.

Nature's Cereal for Breakfast 🍓🍎🍇🥥

e025246 — 2021-03-12 13:54:09 UTC

I'm trying to stop consuming processed cereal and dairy products so I made this beautiful bowl of Nature's Cereal consists of strawberries, apples, grapes and coconut water. It doesn't taste like cereal but it is way more delicious and appetizing; healthy as well!! 💚 The strawberries, apples and grapes are all freshly brought from the highland of Kundasang so it is guaranteed to be no preservatives.

e023354 — 2021-03-15 05:18:45 UTC

avoid the use of tissues in the toilet and replace them with water. thus, we can reduce waste from toilet tissue and can guarantee personal hygiene🥰😎

SUMMARY - WEEK 9👣

e025258 — 2021-03-16 14:15:15 UTC

For this week, our group has done their best to continue goals where we need to avoid consuming foods that contain a high carbon footprint and implement 3R on a daily basis. First of all, Naqiuddin has made Nature’s cereal which consists of fruits such as strawberries, grapes and apples. He also uses coconut water to make it taste better. The same goes for Fariha and Faiz, they also take fruits as a nice and effective step. Fariha, she has changed the way of supper by taking watermelon instead of burger. Faiz eats mangoes picked in his backyard. This thing is a great way to reduce our carbon footprint. Eating local fruit lowers our dependence on food transported vast distances and may increase our intake of fresh fruits and vegetables, helping offset our carbon emissions. Eating seasonal foods and supporting organic growers are additional ways to minimize our footprint. This is because food produced out of season is usually imported or requires more energy to grow due to the need for heated greenhouses. Last but not least, Alif avoided the use of tissues in the toilet and replace them with water. Thus, we can reduce waste from toilet tissue and can guarantee personal hygiene.🌏🌞🌝⭐️

REFLECTION 💚✨

e025238 — 2021-04-06 03:27:59 UTC

Assignment 1; Turning Wishes to Actions have somehow brought positive impacts and brief foresight of what it would look like to change our old lifestyle into a more sustainable life. On week 1-2, our group has discussed our environmental goals that we have to achieve and practice in daily lives even after finishing this semester. Our environmental goals consist of 1) implementing 3R in daily lives and 2) avoiding consumption of food with high carbon footprint; meat, poultry etc. On our first goal, we decided to practice the 3R; reduce, reuse, recycle mainly to cut down the amount of waste and landfill waste. We also aimed to practice 3R as an attempt to save money by conserving good things instead of throwing them away and buy new products. Our second goal, we aimed to take part in saving the climate by reducing or cutting the consumption of foods with high carbon footprint. Every year there are tons of CO₂ being released into the atmosphere and one of the many reasons is from the production of foods such as beef, lamb and muttons, poultry and dairy products such as milk and cheese. Not only that, we decided to reduce dairy consumption as humanity efforts because in the production of dairy products, cows are being forcefully impregnated every year. Changing a lifestyle immediately would be impossible but we managed to do it one step at a time. For the first 6 weeks, we did several attempts to achieve our first goal, the 3R. There are many things that we have done since week 2 including reducing the use of plastic straw by using reusable bamboo straw, recycling beverage cans into pen holder and more. What we get from doing 3R in our daily lives is we learnt on how to recycle our materials at home into each categories and most of us are able to reuse their items at home that can save our money and energy. Besides, we also become more creative because we able to turn recycle items such as can, bottle, boxes into something new that we can used in daily lives. Thus, applying 3R in our daily lives gives us an important lesson which is we need to be alert with our action because it may be harmful to the environment. We also get that applying 3R can reduce air, water and land pollution and help preserving’s planet resources. Next, what we get from reducing high carbon footprint is we learnt that meat is one of food with high carbon footprint so we are trying to avoid and control eat meat. We are also trying to do a vegetarian dish in order to reduce carbon footprint. From those activities, we can see our team efforts and can learnt the recipes that are done by them. Lastly, what we can improve in our activities are, we have to balance in doing 3R because most of us are focusing on recycle and reuse but not reduce.
Next, we argue that the thing that needs to be improved in the future is to recommend to close relatives about the objective of adopting a 3R attitude and reducing carbon food print on the environment. In addition, we can also explain the adverse effects of not adopting the 3r attitude and indifference to carbon food print. Among the effects if the community does not adopt the 3R attitude is that solid waste will continue to increase. According to statistics released by "Berita Harian Online", there are only 17.39% of Malaysians who practice the 3R attitude. Therefore, each individual must play an important role in the successful practice of 3R attitudes in society. Speaking of carbon food print, among the effects is the uncontrolled release of C02 and the effect of global warming. According to statistics released by knoema, In 2019, CO2 emissions per capita for Malaysia was 7.67 tons of CO2 per capita. CO2 emissions per capita of Malaysia increased from 1.32 tons of CO2 per capita in 1970 to 7.67 tons of CO2 per capita in 2019 growing at an average annual rate of 3.79%.

Drink coconut water because it has many nutrients.🌴🥥

SUMMARY- WEEK 12

e025238 — 2021-04-06 07:55:57 UTC

For last week to achieve our goals, we decided to continue onto activities that can reduce the high carbon footprints. For Alif, he made a tofu soup with fish balls and vegetables. From his actions, he’s trying to use ingredients that based from fish and vegetables to reduce the carbon footprint. Next, for Siti, she’s using public transport which is MRT and LRT instead of personal transport to go out. From her actions, we can see that using public transport can reduce carbon footprint as personal transport emits more smoke and can increase the carbon footprint. Besides, Faiz still continue his effort to avoid meat with drink coconut. From his action, he’s trying to change his eating lifestyle to more vegetables and fruits. In conclusion, we can see that to reduce carbon footprint, we can reduce from changing our eating style and can reduce on using our electricity. In addition, doing activities that can reduce carbon footprint can make us a healthy person and can save up our electricity. Thus, even we doing the small things we can protect our Earth.
