Carbon Offsetting Project
We planted a total of five trees today!! As trees are capable of offsetting the amount of carbon dioxide in the air, we are glad that we have contributed in a small way to improving the environment.
The farmers made digging and filling soil look so easy. We really struggled to handle the spades and changkols!
Green Energy for Community Betterment Project
A team of us helped build a solar-powered lighting system. We put up a solar PV panel that can power LED lamps and a water pump. We learnt that it is import to mount the solar PV panel at certain angle and direction in order to maximise the capturing of the sun's energy (Our panel was angled at 22 degrees and faced south; do you know the reasons why?). The system also has a back-up battery, timers, and various meters. The LED lamps were arranged in a symbol of a dove, which represents peace.
