INTRODUCTION
Through “Paying It Forward”, our group managed to enrich the everyday lives of school
children in SJK (T) Ladang Ebor by building and revamping a new playground for them. Our aim is to
emphasize that playtime for children is equally as important as studying and that they have every
right to have access to a proper, functioning playground. Playing is essential for children’s
development so we decided that by building a playground out of tires, we can indirectly teach them
to be resourceful with common objects and understand that recycling is important.
Also, we wanted to showcase the fact that you can indeed re use previously “unwanted” and
“old” materials such as how we utilized the tires for a jungle gym, stepping stone and flower pots.
Tires are among the largest and most problematic sources of waste, due to their wide usage and
their durability. Every year, it is estimated about 259 million tires are simply discarded to junkyards
or burned for fuel value because most people find that tires don’t have any other purpose besides
protecting their car’s rims. We figured that if we obtained used tires we could give them a second
chance by re-using them to build something fulfilling for the children.
The duties that we needed to perform for this movement is to put together a playground by
using tires. When the structures were complete, we will involve the children in making their
playground beautiful by painting the dull black tires colourful with as many colours as possible, as
well as paint a mural. We’ve estimated to need a minimum of 10-12 hours (split evenly on weekends
as we have classes on the weekdays).
This case study calls for us to further develop our community skills. By working in teams we
learnt to enhance our team work abilities. We’ve created and adapted schemes that allowed us to
benefit from the knowledge of our team members. These skills we learnt are crucial in our ability to
develop good professional design practice in the near future. Therefore, participating in this project
thought us not only to engage with the theme assigned to us, but also to embrace, analyse and
ponder upon the concepts of community as its member ourselves.Through collaborative and
dynamic movements, we have gained a profound understanding of our environment and our
responsibility as community, as we strive to continue practising real-world problem solving
challenges using creative ideas.
SERVICE LEARNING & ORGANIZATION
Our service-learning experience took the place in a primary school, called
SekolahJenisKebangsaan (T) Ladang Ebor. When we visited the school for the first time we just
realised that the children were really adorable, active and cheerful but the play environment for
them was surprisingly poor. So we decided to build a playground and paint a colourful mural to
enhance a cheerful environment in their memorable school life. Not forgetting of course that the
children also learn from what they benefit, by understanding how old and used items can be made
beautiful when re-used.
We have focused on what kind of instruments we make, how safely we build and what
benefits the school will have from this project. Firstly, we interviewed the children about how they
usually play in the school and any kind of the instruments of the playground they want for the school.
When we said that we were going to build the playground and provide the mural, they gave us really
big ecstatic smiles and were not shy to nod and squeal in agreement. Their smiles made us so happy
and to think that we would give them the better environments so that they can keep their smiles.
When dealing with the organization, the principal shared with us how the finances of the
school is always used to splurge on educational material such as books, stationaries, white boards
and so on. When questioned about ‘play-time’, the principal explained to us that they have not been
able to provide in that form, and admitted to not having considered it much. When we shared with
her our study on how play-time can boost the attendance of the students to school as well as their
productivity in class, she took into consideration on our thoughts. Without hesitating she agreed to
proceed with the project, so did the other teachers who were there when we presented our
proposal.
In working on this assignment, we learnt a lot through our service. We have learnt how to
join wood to the frames and tyres together tightly from the carpenter and engineer because it's very
important to make sure that all the instruments are safe for the children to play on.We considered
each and every problem and mishap that can be happen in the future to the children while playing
and tried to build the playground as safely as we could. Based on the research, playing outdoors
helps them to explore their environment, increase flexibility and develop physical exercise and the
colours allows their brain to be active and them to have creative thinking. So we used the
instruments and the mural colourful as much as we could.
While building and drawing, definitely needed good teamwork and we all co-operatedwith
each other so that we can finish everything in the given period of time. This project helped us to
have great opportunity to be aware of what environment the children have in the local school and to
consider how we can help them as well as learn to develop the environment.

Project Statement:
Tires are among the largest and most problematic sources of waste, due to their wide usage and
their durability. Every year, it is estimated about 259 million tires are simply discarded to junkyards
or burned for fuel value because most people find that tires don’t have other purposes besides
protecting their car’s rims. We figured that if we obtained used tires we could give them a second
chance by re-using them to build something useful and fulfilling for people.
There are about 150 students in the school. The interior condition of the school is conducive
for the students to study. However the exterior is the issue at hand.
Schools nowadays don't really emphasize on playtime for children and constantly drill them
with homework. Playtime is essential for children’s development so we decided that by building a
playground out of tires, we can indirectly teach them to be resourceful with common objects and
understand that recycling is important. We’ll also try to engage these children to be creative by
involving them in the painting of the tires and mural. We noticed that low-income schools can’t
afford elaborate playgrounds for their students so we target those of schools, specifically
SekolahJenisKebangsaan (T) Ladang Ebor, will be beneficial.
 The items and materials needed for this project are tires, paint, wood, as well as hardware
equipment (nails, nuts, bolts, painting equipment, rope, machete, etc.) Refer to attachment
for further understanding on what we aspire to build for the children.
Project Objectives & Work Plan:
The duties that we need to perform for this movement is to put together a playground by
using tires. When the structures are complete, we will involve the children in making their
playground beautiful by painting the dull black tires colorful with as many colors as possible, as well
as paint a mural. We’ve estimated to need a minimum of 10-12 hours (split evenly on weekends as
we have classes on weekdays). We will be ever ready to begin this assignment as soon as all
necessary proposals go through.
This case study calls for us to build a playground for children using old tires. We are going
to construct equipment’s for the school children to utilize. Please refer to attachments for visuals.
Many precautions have been taken to ensure the safety and hygiene of the school children
who are going to be the users of the playground we build. Besides that, there are also
environmental/ sustainable strategies we’ve adopted to proceed with this assignment. Please refer
to attachment for further knowledge regarding these issues.

We have been using wood for the climb we made for the playground. Comparing using it as a
support for the design to steel and concrete it has the least impact on the environment which
enables us to sustain the environment better. As the diagram above shows, wood frame have lower
embodied energy as well as operating energy which makes it a better choice of material.
Materials Embodied Energy - MJ/kg Carbon Dioxide Emission - kg per
kg
Wood 8.5 0.46
So by reusing the wood of around 50 kg we have already saved 425 MJ embodied energy (8.5 MJ x
50 = 425MJ )
LIFE CYCLE ANALYSIS OF PAINT
The stages in the lifecycle of paints and coatings can be categorised as follows:
A. Research &Development
-design and development of products and services
B. Supply Chain
-raw material production and sourcing;
-paint production, warehousing and delivery to customers
C. Use of paints and coatings
-application of paints
-disposal of painted items.

Both water-borne and solvent-borne paint are used at our site. The solvent-borne paint is used for
the climb and the tyres to make the material water proof whereas the water-borne paint are used at
the mural. As shown in the diagram above, as the layers of paint increases the embodied energy of it
increases as well. We only used one layer of water-based paint therefore contributes less impact
towards the environment. Paints are volatile organic compounds. Therefore when VOC’s react with
oxygen, they can form ‘bad’ ozone in the presence of sunlight. This is a contributory factor to the
greenhouse effect and a cause of global warming. So it is crucial to use minimum paint as possible
on site.
Paint Climate change impacts (kg carbon dioxide emission)
Organic solvent system 7.38
Water based system 2.5
The impact on climate change as well as environment increases as the carbon dioxide emission from
paint increases and for comparison solvent based paint releases more carbon dioxide. Therefore on
our site we use less solvent based paint compared to water based paint hopefully to reduce the
impact on the climate and the environment.

The figure above shows the comparison of the re-manufacturing process with the original production of
Nylons. The re-manufacturing process bass less environmental impact especially impacts on resources.
We decided to reuse the rope and net for our project in order to conserve the energy and resources.
This can reduce the amounts of the products end up being burnt and release harmful gases. As we can
see, the embodied energy of Nylons is 120.50 MJ/kg, which is quite a big amount.Therefore, if we reuse
the rope and net instead of manufacturing new ones, definitely less energy will be consume. Besides
that, we were also able to conserve natural resources such as crude oil.

Notes: Negative number = Energy savings.
This shows that displace virgin input can actually save more energy compared to display current mix of
virgin and recycled input.
Environmental Impacts Co-incineration and Material Recycling
The figure above shows the potential environment savings from co-incineration and recycling in person
equivalents per ton of tires. Basically the results indicate that recycling has a negligible advantage by
disregarding mineral source use and nitrification potential.
Through the life cycle analysis, we decided to use recycled tires for our project to ensure the mainten-
ance of an environmentally friendly strategy where the energy is conserved. The use of recycled tires
also ensures a cleaner atmosphere whereby if tires were to be discarded, they would end up being
burnt, thus, releasing carbon monoxide and other harmful gases. During the manufacture of tires, a lot
of energy was used for processes such as production of raw materials and tire distribution. Hence, less
Energy Impacts for Source Reduction (Million Btu/Ton of Material Source
Reduced)
energy would be used up in the recycling of tires instead of manufacturing new ones. Less energy con-
sumption is always a desirable sustainable strategy. Other than reducing the energy, recycling tires also
help to reduce the emission of carbon dioxide , carbon monoxide and waste water which will consists
bad impacts to the environment and human health.
LIFE CYCLE ANALYSIS OF SCREWS, NAILS, NUTS, AND BOLTS
(STEEL / METAL)
MINING: When a deposit of a metal ore is found, geologists and environmen-
talists need to investigate the site to make sure that no serious environmental damage will
be done. For example, if a rare or endangered species of animal is found at the site, then it
may not be possible to extract the ore. When an ore is mined a large hole and lots of debris
will be produced. Mining also produces lots of waste products and, if the waste is not prop-
erly treated, it can lead to environmental damage. All of these issues need to be considered
before the metal ore can even be removed from the ground.
PROCESSING: When an ore is extracted from the ground, it needs to be processed
to remove impurities. This means that lots of waste can be produced, some of which can be
toxic. This toxic waste can damage the local environment.
EXTRACTION: Extracting metals from their ores is very energy intensive. Using electrolysis
requires lots of electricity and reduction requires lots of carbon. Both methods produce lots
of waste gases such as carbon dioxide (CO
2
), which can damage the environment.
USES & DISPOSAL: Different metals need to be used for different products. Using a dif-
ferent metal can reduce the amount of energy the product uses. For example, the body of a
car made out of aluminum instead of steel. This way the car will be lighter and so it reduces
the energy used.
 You can simply throw it in the bin, which means that the metal will be taken to land-
fill.
 It can be recycled. This means that it reduces the amount of metal that needs to be
mined, processed and extracted and the environmental impact is reduced.
 The product could be reused, so a metal container could be used for something else.
For example, using a tin of chocolates to contain something else once the chocolates
have been eaten.
Materials Embodied Energy - MJ/kg Carbon Dioxide Emission - kg per
kg
Steel 8.03 0.46
Metal 6.57 0.8
Steel is not the most or least material that impacts the environment in comparison with
wood and concrete. Metal is somehow the same as steel, therefore they share the same
environmental impact. We used nuts, bolts, nails and screws out of these materials because
it doesnt effect the environment as much. Therefore, they are suitable to be used because
they are somewhat eco-friendly.

  • 3. INTRODUCTION Through “Paying It Forward”, our group managed to enrich the everyday lives of school children in SJK (T) Ladang Ebor by building and revamping a new playground for them. Our aim is to emphasize that playtime for children is equally as important as studying and that they have every right to have access to a proper, functioning playground. Playing is essential for children’s development so we decided that by building a playground out of tires, we can indirectly teach them to be resourceful with common objects and understand that recycling is important. Also, we wanted to showcase the fact that you can indeed re use previously “unwanted” and “old” materials such as how we utilized the tires for a jungle gym, stepping stone and flower pots. Tires are among the largest and most problematic sources of waste, due to their wide usage and their durability. Every year, it is estimated about 259 million tires are simply discarded to junkyards or burned for fuel value because most people find that tires don’t have any other purpose besides protecting their car’s rims. We figured that if we obtained used tires we could give them a second chance by re-using them to build something fulfilling for the children. The duties that we needed to perform for this movement is to put together a playground by using tires. When the structures were complete, we will involve the children in making their playground beautiful by painting the dull black tires colourful with as many colours as possible, as well as paint a mural. We’ve estimated to need a minimum of 10-12 hours (split evenly on weekends as we have classes on the weekdays). This case study calls for us to further develop our community skills. By working in teams we learnt to enhance our team work abilities. We’ve created and adapted schemes that allowed us to benefit from the knowledge of our team members. These skills we learnt are crucial in our ability to develop good professional design practice in the near future. Therefore, participating in this project thought us not only to engage with the theme assigned to us, but also to embrace, analyse and ponder upon the concepts of community as its member ourselves.Through collaborative and dynamic movements, we have gained a profound understanding of our environment and our responsibility as community, as we strive to continue practising real-world problem solving challenges using creative ideas.
  • 4. SERVICE LEARNING & ORGANIZATION Our service-learning experience took the place in a primary school, called SekolahJenisKebangsaan (T) Ladang Ebor. When we visited the school for the first time we just realised that the children were really adorable, active and cheerful but the play environment for them was surprisingly poor. So we decided to build a playground and paint a colourful mural to enhance a cheerful environment in their memorable school life. Not forgetting of course that the children also learn from what they benefit, by understanding how old and used items can be made beautiful when re-used. We have focused on what kind of instruments we make, how safely we build and what benefits the school will have from this project. Firstly, we interviewed the children about how they usually play in the school and any kind of the instruments of the playground they want for the school. When we said that we were going to build the playground and provide the mural, they gave us really big ecstatic smiles and were not shy to nod and squeal in agreement. Their smiles made us so happy and to think that we would give them the better environments so that they can keep their smiles. When dealing with the organization, the principal shared with us how the finances of the school is always used to splurge on educational material such as books, stationaries, white boards and so on. When questioned about ‘play-time’, the principal explained to us that they have not been able to provide in that form, and admitted to not having considered it much. When we shared with her our study on how play-time can boost the attendance of the students to school as well as their productivity in class, she took into consideration on our thoughts. Without hesitating she agreed to proceed with the project, so did the other teachers who were there when we presented our proposal. In working on this assignment, we learnt a lot through our service. We have learnt how to join wood to the frames and tyres together tightly from the carpenter and engineer because it's very
  • 5. important to make sure that all the instruments are safe for the children to play on.We considered each and every problem and mishap that can be happen in the future to the children while playing and tried to build the playground as safely as we could. Based on the research, playing outdoors helps them to explore their environment, increase flexibility and develop physical exercise and the colours allows their brain to be active and them to have creative thinking. So we used the instruments and the mural colourful as much as we could. While building and drawing, definitely needed good teamwork and we all co-operatedwith each other so that we can finish everything in the given period of time. This project helped us to have great opportunity to be aware of what environment the children have in the local school and to consider how we can help them as well as learn to develop the environment.

Every year, it is estimated about 259 million tires are simply discarded to junkyards or burned for fuel value because most people find that tires don’t have other purposes besides protecting their car’s rims. We figured that if we obtained used tires we could give them a second chance by re-using them to build something useful and fulfilling for people. There are about 150 students in the school. The interior condition of the school is conducive for the students to study. However the exterior is the issue at hand. Schools nowadays don't really emphasize on playtime for children and constantly drill them with homework. Playtime is essential for children’s development so we decided that by building a playground out of tires, we can indirectly teach them to be resourceful with common objects and
  • 7. understand that recycling is important. We’ll also try to engage these children to be creative by involving them in the painting of the tires and mural. We noticed that low-income schools can’t afford elaborate playgrounds for their students so we target those of schools, specifically SekolahJenisKebangsaan (T) Ladang Ebor, will be beneficial.  The items and materials needed for this project are tires, paint, wood, as well as hardware equipment (nails, nuts, bolts, painting equipment, rope, machete, etc.) Refer to attachment for further understanding on what we aspire to build for the children. Project Objectives & Work Plan: The duties that we need to perform for this movement is to put together a playground by using tires. When the structures are complete, we will involve the children in making their playground beautiful by painting the dull black tires colorful with as many colors as possible, as well as paint a mural. We’ve estimated to need a minimum of 10-12 hours (split evenly on weekends as we have classes on weekdays). We will be ever ready to begin this assignment as soon as all necessary proposals go through. This case study calls for us to build a playground for children using old tires. We are going to construct equipment’s for the school children to utilize. Please refer to attachments for visuals. Many precautions have been taken to ensure the safety and hygiene of the school children who are going to be the users of the playground we build. Besides that, there are also environmental/ sustainable strategies we’ve adopted to proceed with this assignment. Please refer to attachment for further knowledge regarding these issues.

  • 10. We have been using wood for the climb we made for the playground. Comparing using it as a support for the design to steel and concrete it has the least impact on the environment which enables us to sustain the environment better. As the diagram above shows, wood frame have lower embodied energy as well as operating energy which makes it a better choice of material. Materials Embodied Energy - MJ/kg Carbon Dioxide Emission - kg per kg Wood 8.5 0.46 So by reusing the wood of around 50 kg we have already saved 425 MJ embodied energy (8.5 MJ x 50 = 425MJ )

The solvent-borne paint is used for the climb and the tyres to make the material water proof whereas the water-borne paint are used at the mural. As shown in the diagram above, as the layers of paint increases the embodied energy of it increases as well. We only used one layer of water-based paint therefore contributes less impact towards the environment. Paints are volatile organic compounds. Therefore when VOC’s react with oxygen, they can form ‘bad’ ozone in the presence of sunlight. This is a contributory factor to the greenhouse effect and a cause of global warming. So it is crucial to use minimum paint as possible on site.
  • 14. Paint Climate change impacts (kg carbon dioxide emission) Organic solvent system 7.38 Water based system 2.5 The impact on climate change as well as environment increases as the carbon dioxide emission from paint increases and for comparison solvent based paint releases more carbon dioxide. Therefore on our site we use less solvent based paint compared to water based paint hopefully to reduce the impact on the climate and the environment.

The re-manufacturing process bass less environmental impact especially impacts on resources. We decided to reuse the rope and net for our project in order to conserve the energy and resources. This can reduce the amounts of the products end up being burnt and release harmful gases. As we can see, the embodied energy of Nylons is 120.50 MJ/kg, which is quite a big amount.Therefore, if we reuse the rope and net instead of manufacturing new ones, definitely less energy will be consume. Besides that, we were also able to conserve natural resources such as crude oil.

This shows that displace virgin input can actually save more energy compared to display current mix of virgin and recycled input. Environmental Impacts Co-incineration and Material Recycling The figure above shows the potential environment savings from co-incineration and recycling in person equivalents per ton of tires. Basically the results indicate that recycling has a negligible advantage by disregarding mineral source use and nitrification potential. Through the life cycle analysis, we decided to use recycled tires for our project to ensure the mainten- ance of an environmentally friendly strategy where the energy is conserved. The use of recycled tires also ensures a cleaner atmosphere whereby if tires were to be discarded, they would end up being burnt, thus, releasing carbon monoxide and other harmful gases. During the manufacture of tires, a lot of energy was used for processes such as production of raw materials and tire distribution. Hence, less Energy Impacts for Source Reduction (Million Btu/Ton of Material Source Reduced)
  • 19. energy would be used up in the recycling of tires instead of manufacturing new ones. Less energy con- sumption is always a desirable sustainable strategy. Other than reducing the energy, recycling tires also help to reduce the emission of carbon dioxide , carbon monoxide and waste water which will consists bad impacts to the environment and human health.
  • 20. LIFE CYCLE ANALYSIS OF SCREWS, NAILS, NUTS, AND BOLTS (STEEL / METAL) MINING: When a deposit of a metal ore is found, geologists and environmen- talists need to investigate the site to make sure that no serious environmental damage will be done. For example, if a rare or endangered species of animal is found at the site, then it may not be possible to extract the ore. When an ore is mined a large hole and lots of debris will be produced. Mining also produces lots of waste products and, if the waste is not prop- erly treated, it can lead to environmental damage. All of these issues need to be considered before the metal ore can even be removed from the ground. PROCESSING: When an ore is extracted from the ground, it needs to be processed to remove impurities. This means that lots of waste can be produced, some of which can be toxic. This toxic waste can damage the local environment. EXTRACTION: Extracting metals from their ores is very energy intensive. Using electrolysis requires lots of electricity and reduction requires lots of carbon. Both methods produce lots of waste gases such as carbon dioxide (CO 2 ), which can damage the environment.
  • 21. USES & DISPOSAL: Different metals need to be used for different products. Using a dif- ferent metal can reduce the amount of energy the product uses. For example, the body of a car made out of aluminum instead of steel. This way the car will be lighter and so it reduces the energy used.  You can simply throw it in the bin, which means that the metal will be taken to land- fill.  It can be recycled. This means that it reduces the amount of metal that needs to be mined, processed and extracted and the environmental impact is reduced.  The product could be reused, so a metal container could be used for something else. For example, using a tin of chocolates to contain something else once the chocolates have been eaten. Materials Embodied Energy - MJ/kg Carbon Dioxide Emission - kg per kg Steel 8.03 0.46 Metal 6.57 0.8
  • 22. Steel is not the most or least material that impacts the environment in comparison with wood and concrete. Metal is somehow the same as steel, therefore they share the same environmental impact. We used nuts, bolts, nails and screws out of these materials because it doesnt effect the environment as much. Therefore, they are suitable to be used because they are somewhat eco-friendly.
