In your own words, what is upcycling and what does it mean to you? 

2. What are 2 highlights from the programme? 

3. What is the most important thing you have learned from the programme? 

4. How do you think upcycling can create positive environmental impacts? 

5. What are some sustainable habits that you will incorporate into your daily life after the programme? 

6. What are some ways you can share about the information you have learned to others? ]]> 2021-07-29 07:25:40 UTC https://padlet.com/sim_shin_jie1/qahnmykipjax1sy5/wish/1663898133 https://padlet.com/sim_shin_jie1/qahnmykipjax1sy5/wish/1664946761 2021-07-30 12:16:25 UTC https://padlet.com/sim_shin_jie1/qahnmykipjax1sy5/wish/1664946761 tan_yin_yan3 https://padlet.com/sim_shin_jie1/qahnmykipjax1sy5/wish/1672672773 1) To me, upcycling is the act of taking something (old) no longer in use a second life chance by giving new functions to it. 

2)  I have learnt about the... 

- environmental impacts and serious consequences of wastage ( pollutions and greenhouse gas) 

- How to create a sustainable lifestyle and environment 

3)  One of my key takeaways in the programme was that almost 744,000 tonnes of food waste in sg are dispose each year because people can't finish them.  It was quite shocking for me because i didn't know that we have been wasting so much food until I have attended the programme. 

4) Upcycling can help reduce the need of production using new or raw materials. This also means that there will be a reduction in environmental impact. 

5) I will start to be more eco- friendly by not buying things that I do not need just for fun. 

6) - Share it on social networking sites 
     - Share it during conversations with friends / families ]]> 2021-08-09 08:44:26 UTC https://padlet.com/sim_shin_jie1/qahnmykipjax1sy5/wish/1672672773 https://padlet.com/sim_shin_jie1/qahnmykipjax1sy5/wish/1672678079 Upcycling is to reuse an object in such a way as to create a product of a better quality. It is a good way to be environmentally friendly. It reduces the need for production using new or raw materials which means a reduction in air pollution, water pollution and greenhouse gases. I have learnt that upcycling is simple to understand and we just have to put in effort to see the results. Recycle and reuse are some sustainable practices. I will try to suggest ways to be more sustainable to others. Some methods to share can be through online quizzes and social media platforms.

-I've learnt the different ways of composting techniques and the different type of consumer food waste
-the most important thing I've learnt is that everyone really plays a part in contributing to our global food waste. Singapore alone can produce 774,000 tonnes of food waste each year, which is very frightening if we think about it. Every citizen should play their part in reducing the amount of food we waste.
-upcycling can benefit the environment by reducing the pollutants of air, land and water in the processing of new goods, as well as preventing additional natural resources from being used.
-When buying groceries with my parents, I will remind them to buy only what we need for that week and not to buy too much.
 -through social media platforms or through conversations with family and friends]]> 2021-08-09 12:06:11 UTC https://padlet.com/sim_shin_jie1/qahnmykipjax1sy5/wish/1672786550 wu_enjia https://padlet.com/sim_shin_jie1/qahnmykipjax1sy5/wish/1672831305 - Upcycling is the transformation of useless products into new products that can put to better use.

- I learnt that food waste has many different impacts be it environmentally , economically or socially. and ways to prevent avoidable food waste. 

- The most important thing I've learnt is that if just in Singapore, the amount of food wasted in a year can reach up to 744 million kg of food waste, it would mean that the amount of food wasted in the entire world would probably be a few hundreds or thousand times more. If we all were to play our part and not waste food, even if it's just a small amount, we would still be able to help cut down on the total amount of food waste in the entire world.

- It would reduce the need for raw materials.

- I'll only buy what I need and order what i can finish. this way I won't keep buying unnecessary food and end up not eating them.

- Share with friends and family or through social media.]]> 2021-08-09 13:02:07 UTC https://padlet.com/sim_shin_jie1/qahnmykipjax1sy5/wish/1672831305 https://padlet.com/sim_shin_jie1/qahnmykipjax1sy5/wish/1672908246 1. Upcycling refer to be able to reuse object that is regarded as 'waste'  to create some thing more valuable then before.

2) learning about the 2 ways that food waste can be dealt with and how we can reduce food waste through various methods
3) how to reduce food waste
4) upcycling is not just reusing what you are about to throw away, but also making it into something that can be used again for a long time
5) do not buy plastic bottle but use a water bottle instead. buy only what you can eat even at a hawker centre.
6) i can share it with my family at home and my friends when i see them throwing food away]]> 2021-08-10 02:46:27 UTC https://padlet.com/sim_shin_jie1/qahnmykipjax1sy5/wish/1673599982 austin_tan_boon_choong https://padlet.com/sim_shin_jie1/qahnmykipjax1sy5/wish/1673603528 1- I believe that upcoming is basically having a unwanted piece of object and give it a better purpose to serve.

3)one most important thing that i learnt was that in 2019 Singapore generated roughly 744,000 tonnes of food waste.
4)The environmental benefits of upcycling are that it reduces the need for production using new or raw materials which means a reduction in air pollution, water pollution, greenhouse gas emissions and often a conservation of global resources.
5)i would use reuseable alternatives
6)talk about it with my friends in this way it qould educate them too ]]> 2021-08-10 11:57:48 UTC https://padlet.com/sim_shin_jie1/qahnmykipjax1sy5/wish/1674009376 https://padlet.com/sim_shin_jie1/qahnmykipjax1sy5/wish/1674163226  1. upcycling is turning something that is not used and give it a new purpose so that it can be used in another way. 

2. - composting is a way where we can reduce the amount of food waste
- food waste affects climate change 

3. the most important thing i have learned is that we have limited resources and the amount of food waste we have is incredibly high (and it is concerning). therefore, we need to make sure that the amount of food waste can be reduced. 

4. by upcycling, the environment will improve tremendously, as the amount of materials needed will be decreased. this will lead to a decrease in many problems (like pollution)

5. i will create a shopping list when i buy my groceries. i tend to always leave the store with more stuff than i intended. this can cause in overstocking, and can lead to food waste if i cannot finish the food before the expiry date. by creating a shopping list, i will only buy the things i need.

6. i will bring it in up in a conversation with my friends or family, as this will spread more awareness. other than this, i can also post it on various social media platforms, and it will spread more awareness and reach out to more people. they will be more informed and aware about the food waste situation in singapore. ]]> 2021-08-10 14:17:16 UTC https://padlet.com/sim_shin_jie1/qahnmykipjax1sy5/wish/1674163226 https://padlet.com/sim_shin_jie1/qahnmykipjax1sy5/wish/1680290727 1. It means transforming something considered as waste into a sustainable product which we use on a daily basis.

2. Two highlights from the programme is:
- how we realised that we waste a lot of food
- the explanation ofhow food waste increases our carbon footprint, hence affecting climate change, leading to a social impact

3. The most important things i have learnt: 
- are the different types of methods we can do to reduce the food waste
- how food waste contributes to climate change

4. Upcycling reduces the need to waste natural resources so that we can use it for something more important/needed.

5. By not wasting any food and being more eco-friendly

6. We can share the things we have learnt about food waste and climate change to our family and friends to raise awareness.]]> 2021-08-16 11:46:57 UTC https://padlet.com/sim_shin_jie1/qahnmykipjax1sy5/wish/1680290727 kai_soh_jh https://padlet.com/sim_shin_jie1/qahnmykipjax1sy5/wish/1682041001 upcycling is the act of taking unwanted materials and creating them into something new and usable

i’ve learnt that our food waste can lead to more carbon footprints and increase in greenhouse gases which contribute to global warming and how to reduce food waste 

how to reduce food waste which we produce a lot of 

upcycling reduces the amount of pollutants as it reduces wastage of new materials. less materials are produced, so there is less pollution

buy only things i need or ask for a lesser portion of food

sharing my learnings with my friends and family to raise awareness and educate them
