For this service learning project, my class took on the task of collecting plastic bottles in the canteen. The busiest times were during recess times in the canteen. It was quite surprising to see the large amount of plastic bottles being collected. From this, I realized how difficult it is to actually make sure that the environment is kept litter-free, and how important it is to recycle whatever can be recycled. If all the plastic bottles that were collected had been thrown away, they would have been incinerated or buried in the landfill, probably further adding to pollution. However, by recycling them, the plastic from the bottles can be turned into other plastic products. The best thing that happened during this project was that many friends were willing to help recycle their bottles and assist by encouraging their own friends to recycle bottles as well, making the job easier. Yes, I will remain involved in community work in the future. There are many opportunities to help out, for example, through religious organizations, and some volunteer organizations. However, one person can only do so much, and it is important to try to get others to help out as well, as everyone can play a part in helping to serve the community.
