Sustainable Living - Bye bye plastic bag, hello paper bag :D
Empirical Research
After our Paper bag exhibition, Champs brought back their paper bags.
Over 3 weeks (in July), Champs worked with their parents to collect data about the effectiveness of paper bags usage.
Champs recorded the number of plastic bags they used at home:
Parents then filled up an online survey. Data collected using SurveyMonkey:
Result: There was a 30% reduction in use of plastic bags (123 plastic bags to 86 plastic bags used) after we started using the paper bags we made!
Engaging the Community - Distribution of paper bags to neighborhood MiniMart
As a follow-up (in Aug and Sep), Champs plan to promote the use of paper bags in our neighborhood MiniMart. About 100 paper bags made from newspaper and magazines be teachers and Champs will be sponsored to Teo Chuan Kee MiniMart @ 629 Ang Mo Kio Ave 4.
