-plant a tree
-walk instead of taking the vehicle
-temperature of the air-conditioner
Firstly, plant a tree. This could be easier than it sounds. Join or help out a local wildlife group and ask to plant a tree. Trees, when fully grown, will help keep the planet cooler. On the same point, you could protest against the demolition of the rainforests. This is the same principle, we need the trees to cool our planet and yet they are chopping them down to create roads or homes. Want to have a 'cooler' Earth?
Take your action now!
Secondly,something as simple as walking instead of taking the car will also help reduce pollution. As well as stopping pollution, you are giving yourself exercise, something important for our bodies. So the next time you get into your car, or your motorbike, think - do I have to make this journey by vehicle or can I walk?
Take your action now!
When you are at home, and feel a little warm. Choose a fan instead of air-conditioner. This can reduce the heat produced by the process of generating electricity for the use of air-conditioner . Through this way we can kill two birds in one stone--the cost on the electricity can be reduced as well.So try not to use the air-conditioner. The earth is having a fever.
Take your action now!

Coping with stress in societ (amend by 18/8)
- optimistically to take difficulties
- stay socialized to communicate with others
- release your stress in correct ways
- keep having own hobbies
- have designated time to rest
We could sing when we feel stressed, but we should not make noise to irritate others when we want to release our stress; we could beat the sandbag when we feel stressed, but we should not hurt others when we want to release our stress; we could even go to see a counsellor when we feel stressed, yet we should not vandalize the public properties when we want to release our stress. No matter what we do, we must ensure that we are releasing our stress in correct ways.
When you find no ways to get rid of your stress, go ahead with your own hobbies. When you are focusing on onething, the others will roll out of your mind. For once, I was stress because the most important meeting for me was coming. I didn't box myself up in my office, instead I went for a fishing. After that, I found everything is easier and finally the meeting went out well. So find your own ways to enjoy yourselves. You definitely will realize the stress is already behind head.

Encouraging citizens to engage in more sports
-Better health
-More social interactions
-Discover talents
Engaging in outdoor activities for instance, sports, can benefit you in many ways; mind, body and soul.
Exercising, of course on a regular basis, would result in a healthy and fit body. You feel good, and look good! It definitely boosts one's confidence. Why coop yourself in the office? Get out into the fresh air and go for a jog! Especially for working adults, sports helps to keep our mind alert and relieves stress.
Furthermore, it improves one's sleep quality. Exercising, on a regular basis, increases the 'good' cholesterol in your blood. Illnesses such as heart disease and diabetes strike many Singaporeans yearly. You wouldn’t want your loved one suffering from these diseases and eventually, succumb to it. These illnesses have no cure but regular exercise prevents such diseases and for overweight people who stand a greater risk of suffering from such illnesses, exercise can place the illness under control so that the patients can have a more normal life. You would then be able to spend more time with your family. So what are you waiting for?
At old age, we become frail and our body weathers. Even for the elderly, exercising strengthens muscles and bones. Regular exercise will result in more flexible joints, and lesser aches and pains. For those with constipation, exercising gives us regular bowel movements, and eases constipation.
Taking up an activity can also let people engage more in terms of the social aspect. First of all, you are able to meet new people through a common hobby. It gives one a wider network of contacts by forging new relationships. This gives people, especially teenagers some positive and perfectly healthy influence.
Ultimately, exercising is proved to make us feel good, and look good. So what are you waiting for? Hurry up and pick up a tennis racket!

Animal abusers should get stiffer sentences (18/8)
By Denise and Elisabeth
- Animals have their own rights
- We should not let these abusers off easily
- Prevent more abuse and abandonment of pets
- Animals are also living things, just like us
Animal abuse cases are significantly increasing. We see more and more pets being abandoned or abused. Could this be due to the punishments not being harsh enough?
Animals have thier own rights and these rights should not be violated. We should respect them as they too have feelings, just like us. Therefore, animal discrimination should not exist in this world. We are interdependent with the environment around us, and these pets also play a vital role in the ecosystem. Pets are not our slaves.
In addition, we should not give opportunities for animal abusers to get off scot free as this would encourage them to repeat their mistakes and inflict more pain on animals. Also, stiffer punishments will prevent more abuse and abandonment of pets and this will ensure the well being of our pets. Pets are not our slaves.
Animals are living things just like us and hence they should not become the victims of our cruelty. Animals need to be nutured with love and care like humans who as well need attention and care from their families. We need to accept animals in our society and treat them as one of us. Pets are not our slaves.

future plans for schools (amended 18/8)
-fewer exams
-wear home clothes
-start school at a later time
-More subject choices
Schools are where we,students spend large portions of our time at.
Therefore,students should definitely be permitted to wear their home clothes to school.you may ask why?why should we wear home clothes to school?Think about it.
Wearing home clothes would let us be more comfortable in our school environment and to concentrate better.It also allows us to create a sense of individual identity for ousrselves,boosting our confidence in life.
With common reports on students commiting suicide because of excessive stress, One main contributing factor is the large number of exams students have to prepare and face on a daily basis.Thus,exams in school should be reduced or held less frequently,allowing students like us to enjoy school life without feeling burdened. Would we want our fellow schoolmates to commit suicide because of an unsolved problem or because of a bad result? NO! There are no unsolved problems in the world. Always look on the bright side - After all, childhood is the best time of a person's life, isnt it?

Ban smoking in Singapore( 18.8)
-unhealthy
-influnence the behavior of the next generation
-second-hand smoke
-causing wild fire
Smoking kills in the long run. It will destroy the lungs and cause many kinds of cancer. People who somke will have a shorter and more suffering life. Singapore has a high standard of life, we should assure that our citizens promote healthy life styles and at the same time, we should not only focus on the smokers' health but also their families'
Children see, children learn. Smoking will also influnence the behavior of the younger generations. Children grow up in the home where their parents smoke have the twice the risk of getting asthma. They will copy their parents and hence have a higher risk of smoking in the future.
New one!!!
Smoking kills in the long run. The lung cancer is one of the consequences of cigarette smoking. Patients with lung cancer can not breath smoothly and they are dying of lack of oxygen now in every party of the world. Have you ever seen lungs of them? They are horribly enlarged and thus they do not function anymore.
Most of us know that smoking can destroy our lungs, but seldom know smoking can also cause other illness. People who somke always have a shorter life with more suffering.

The value of animals and how we ignore their existence for our own good….(18/08/2009)
-We should be responsible owners
-Animals have feelings too.
-Animals serve humans so we should serve them too.
Animals are living things too. Therefore, they have feelings too. We should learn to respect their feeling by not abusing them. For us we have the privellage to express our feelings, but for them? Who is going to voice out their opinions? Think about them. Put yourselves in their shoes. Then you will understand the torture that they have to go through.
The rising number of animals in the SPCA would clearly show how Singaporeans take care of their pets. There was a case where two teenage boys urinated on a kitten at Henderson Crescent on September 23rd last year.
A significant number involve the mistreatment of dogs.The types of complaints range from dogs being tied up or caged up most of the day. How would you feel if you were in that cage for the whole day?
Animals are fully dependent on us once they have entered our lives. We treat our family members with great care and concern. Similarly, we should be responsible and care for them like our own family members. Animals are not our slaves. Stop abusing them! Onward Animals!
