I am happy to share with all Ecogeneration members a school project that I have been working on for some time and that has been completed recently. For the Science Model Project at my school (Delhi Private School, Sharjah), I chose to make a model on Global Warming- Causes, Effects and Prevention. My model as also my knowledge on the topic was greatly appreciated at my school. In addition to my school and Emirates Environment group (of which I am a student member), I have Tunza Eco-generation to thank, for increasing my awareness about this topic.
All material used to make the model was waste or material that I had collected for recycling (discarded wood pieces from a carpentry workshop, old/broken toys, plastic/cardboard/styrofoam packaging material, plastic/paper bags, waste paper etc.) I made the model in 2 pieces. The first piece was a circular piece of wood on which I showed the effects of Global Warming by dividing it into 4 parts and the centre showing a globe on fire. The second piece was divided into 2 parts with a vertical panel in the centre. On one side I showed the causes of Global Warming and on the other side, the prevention. The following facts and information was conveyed through the model: Global Warming- Causes, Effects and Prevention WHAT?- Global Warming is a gradual increase in the overall temperature of the Earth's atmosphere. WHY?- Green House Gases (GHGs) like Carbon di Oxide, Methane etc, Chloroflourocarbons (CFCs) and other pollutants trap the heat of the Sun. HOW?- The GHGs mainly come from: 1. Fuel Combustion in Vehicles 2. Industries 3. Production of Electricity by burning coal 4. Deforestation EFFECTS: 1. Melting of Glaciers and Rising of Sea Levels 2. Storms and Floods 3. Droughts and Famines 4. Climate Change and Changes in Ecosystems PREVENTION: 1. Use of Public Transport, cycling, walking etc to cut down pollution from vehicles 2. Careful management of Chemicals and Industrial waste 3. Production of Electricity from Alternate Sources (Hydroelectricity, Solar Panels, Windmills etc.) and conservation of electricity 4. Afforestation and Conservation of Ecosystems 5. Green Sustainable living and Reducing Landfills through efforts towards Reducing, Reusing & Recycling, with emphasis on the fact Recycling should be the last option after Reducing and Reusing. I have attached photos of the model for everyone to have a look. I have spoken to environment agencies and instead of dismantling the model, it may be used to spread awareness among the student community. |

Thank you Raunak, Nitesh, Abhay and Shrijana for your kind remarks and encouragement. Appreciation from so many Eco warriors means more to me than the first prize that I won in my school with my model.

Arushi, a special thanks to you for teaching me a new word- 'Upcycle'. I checked its meaning after reading your comment!

Christy, it did not take very long to make the model-just about a week of work after school, but collecting all the material took time as I wanted to use waste material only. But we had enough given time from the school to plan our models. Most importantly, I really enjoyed making the model. My schoolmates loved it too as it caught their imagination with all the cars and animals etc. It was easy to pass the message as they were very attentive.
