World Environment Day
As all of you know, World Environment Day was held on the 5th of June. The theme this year is Your Planet Needs You! Unite to Combat Climate Change. Here are some Daily do something Tips provided by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) in conjunction of WED 2009, for everyone to start saving the world! Play your part by using less and acting more. Try to incorporate all of these tips into your life as a matter of routine. Get involved!
• Plant a tree!
• The easiest way to reduce your carbon footprint is by avoiding driving altogether. Power down and instead try biking, walking, carpooling, public transport or an occasional telecommute.
• Use washable mugs instead of non-biodegradable Styrofoam or plastic cups as an environmentally-friendly alternative.
• Use both sides of a paper.
• Save water. Don’t let the tap run.
• Use towels for drying your face and hands instead of tissues that are used and then thrown away. Hang your towels so that they can be reused.
• Recycle your newspaper after reading them.
• Don’t place lamps or TV sets near your air-conditioning thermostat as it senses heat from these appliances, which can cause the air-conditioner to run longer than necessary.
• When cooking, match the size of the pan to the size of the heating element to lower energy wastage.
• When you are feeling at your laziest, don’t throw clean clothes in the hamper to avoid hanging them up! Wear jeans more than once…
• When you wash, use only eco-friendly products in your home. It’s best for you and the environment! And did we mention plant a tree!

After a short discussion, Group 1 decided to take beautify the ground floor area whereas Group 2 opted to work on the balcony area. We were given around 3 to 4 weeks to complete the project. Although there was much to do, with our exams coming, nevertheless, we really enjoyed ourselves as we carried out this project.
Group 1's report:
Project Name: Interact-ing With Nature
We, members of Group 1 frequently had meetings during lunch breaks and after school hours to discuss, present and evaluate ideas. We eventually, mutually agreed on specific designs for the two tasked areas. Different members were tasked to get different supplies needed for the project.
We stayed back after school for a total of 8 times for 1 to 3 hours, enjoying ourselves as we beautified the school compound. Finally, we worked together to transform the areas in the school compound into the final result, of which we are very proud! =)

Project Name: Eco-Paradise
We often have meetings during lunch to discuss and plan our project. Everyone gave their ideas and we tried to combine all the ideas together and it turned out nicely. Our teacher advisor, Madam Norhayati accompanied us throughout the project and guided us. Finally, the end product -- our very own Mini Garden! =) This Eco-Paradise of ours may need much maintenance but we are prepared to uphold its beauty.
Thats all for the photos.
We hope our contributions have helped "green-ify" our school!

The Carbon Footprint Challenge
If you read the StarTwo today, you would notice that a lot of articles touch on the green issue. In 2004, Malaysia spewed 177 million tonnes of greenhouse gasses placing us at No.26 among the world's top 30 emitters.
Let's face it. Turning off our lights and fans for an hour during Earth Hour was just a tiny step towards clearing our carbon-conscience. It's time for us to step up and clear our carbon footprint!
Here's how you can help;
1. Switch off fans, lights and airconds that are not in use.
2. Switch off all electronics that are left on "Standby" mode.
3. Unplug computers at night and on weekends.
4. Reduce the use of air-conditioner by an hour each day.
5. Raise your air-conditioner temperature by 1C
6. Shorten your shower by 5 minutes.
7. For those of you who love shopping, say no to plastic bags whenever you buy things. Instead, use a reusable bag.
8. Recycle old mobile phones
9. Recycle glass, paper, card, plastic, cans in school and at home.
10. Carpool
11. Cycle or walk for trips under 2km.
Let us all take part in The Carbon Footprint Challenge- Reduce It!
Every action counts (:

Hola Mexico!
Date : 1st April 2009
Venue : School Hall, Wesley Methodist School
Event : International Understanding Day
A Video Courtesy of the Mexican Embassy """ Embajada De México"
On the 1st of April 2009, the Interact Club of Wesley Methodist School hosted its 35th annual International Understanding Day, themed Mexican Fiesta. What is the first thing that comes to your mind when you hear of the word Mexico. Sombreros? Cactus? Many of us may know Mexico by name but not all of us know of the rich heritage that lies behind it. Mexico is rich in history and culture and it is my pleasure to share this learning experience with all of you today.
International Understanding Day is hosted every year, with a main goal to provide opportunities for gaining increased knowledge and understanding of community, national, and world affairs. This event was done in hopes of creating goodwill and friendship amongst people of the world, eliminating all religious, political or racial barriers which is the best instrument for world peace. Thus, a variety of performances, exhibitions and other activities were prepared on that day with hope to impart some knowledge on the history of Mexico to the guests.
Every Interactor was given an opportunity to participate in the organizing of this event. As duties were delegated, every club member was responsible in taking charge of many aspects of the planning of the event. Thus, this event was a success due to participation of the club as a whole that managed to work together as a single body.
The decoration team did a splendid job decorating the school hall according to the theme. All the club members rented costumes set in the time of Mexico to give our guests a somewhat similar experience as to actually being in Mexico. The club had also managed to get the cooperation of the Embassy of Mexico to provide some materials for use in our event.
The event was organized in such a way that the program did not go on in a conventional way, but instead it was presented by means of integrating the various items into a make-shift play. On the agenda, there were a couple of speeches and other performances, including a dance featuring the culture of Mexico, and a short but informative presentation on a brief history of Mexico. The presentation covered many aspects of Mexico, such as culture, economy, geography, festivals, people and food.
Later on in the evening, there was also some time allocated to give an opportunity for those interested in learning more about Mexico to visit the many exhibitions, prepared by the Interactors, and to also have an opportunity to win various prizes by taking part in a questionnaire. The event ended in the lat evening after the souvenirs and prizes were given out.
Among the many guests invited to grace the event that morning were the representative from the Embassy of Mexico, Rotary Club Diraja KL and of course our school principal, Mrs. Vimala Mathews. The Interactors have worked tirelessly for a couple of weeks in preparation for this event and their hard work has definitely paid off.
