Save the world!

There are lots that can be done to help protect the environment. Take a look at some of the initiatives taken by schools and students in a bid to do their bit. Perhaps they may spur you to think of ways through which you too can make the world cleaner and greener.

(5) Rain water is “harvested” in SMK(P) Sri Aman, collected in the tank on the left and filtered before being stored. The water is used in the toilet of one of the school blocks. As seen here, there are two meters outside the toilet, one to gauge the volume of rain water used, the other to measure the amount needed from the regular supply when rainfall is low.
