Green Residence
What Kids Will Do?
Kids will understand how our lifestyle – everyday things like watching TV and turning off the lights produce carbon emissions and how it affects Mother Earth.
Simulated to look like a real house, the green residence consists of 4 different rooms – living room, kitchen, bathroom, and bedroom. Each rooms have tasks that are categorized into: Electricity, Water and Waste Segregation. Kids must think of ways on how to reduce carbon emissions by completing tasks as much as they can for each room within the time limit. Tasks have equivalent points that will be calculated at the end. Points will be deducted from the house’s total carbon footprint.
Kids who greatly reduced the total carbon footprints of the house will have a chance to win prizes.
