HI there...amira here....Today,I am going to write about one of the LEARNING ISSUES in the FILA chart.After much discussion, our group decided to write about our 2nd learning issue which is "How do we change the mindset of people about the importance of saving water and energy?"HOW & WHY?We chose this learning issue as Earth is burdened with a problem like this is because of our mindset.We think that saving the environment is not a big deal but is it quite the contrary.If we do not save the environment, what will happen to Earth?Where will we live?As you know, Earth is the only planet that supports life, provides a adequate amount of sunlight ,and also water.If we are able to change the mindsets of people and tell them about the harm we are causing ,they will surely contribute to help save the planet. They are contributing to saving the environment and also making a difference to planet Earth.I cannot deny that we too were unaware about this major issue and did not make such a big deal out of it.But after working out this project, we realised.So, to us changing the mindsets of people is very important as it would determine whether they are willing to save water and energy.But, knowledge also plays a part and hence, we should be able to also provide sufficient information for them.The answer to our learning issue is to let family members to work on a save energy bill project with a "START WITH ME" strategy.If one of the familyy members start practising good energy-saving tips at home,others would also sart to inculcate the good habits.Then ,for family whose energy bill can be decreased by 5% each month, they will be given money.Brochures with energy -saving tips would also be given to them to guide them along their way of wanting to save thier water and energy bill.We chose rewarding them with money as a suggestion as with inflation on the rise, we feel that people are in need of money.But of course, they must not be too obsessed with the reward of money but also willing to care for the environment.:))amira:))
