• Introduction – I helped you with this in class. Probably less than one page.
• Waste Creation in Singapore – How much waste does Singapore produce? What types? Is it increasing or decreasing? Why? How does Singapore compare with other countries? What problems does the waste cause? Is any of it hazardous? (You may want to include graphs/pie-charts in this section.) Probably about 1-2 pages long.
• Waste Disposal in Singapore – How does Singapore dispose of its waste? Landfill sites, incineration plants … How much waste is reused or recycled? How much is incinerated? How much goes into the landfill site at Pulau Semakau? How is waste incinerated? (After visiting Tuas IP, you should be able to write a description of the incineration process.) How does the Pulau Semakau landfill work? (Use the flowchart you drew earlier.) How is waste collected for recycling? (Write about private recycling companies, colour-coded bins in busy public places etc.) What does the Singapore Green Plan say?
• Personal Action – Now that you know about the growing mountain of waste in Singapore and the need for all of us to reduce, re-use and recycle, what are you (and your family) going to do about it? What is UWCSEA doing, what should they be doing?
