2. The Team ‘Trash To Treasure’ decided to
embark on an innovative social innovation
project. We started our project by doing
some research and analysis .We noted that
for Earth Day many Green activists are
involved in Social Innovation Projects. They
look into environmental and social issues.
In fact ‘Save the Earth’ is a popular topic
these days. To many of us, it means taking
shorter showers, using energy-efficient
light bulbs, carrying cloth bags, buying
organic -grown foods, riding public
transportation, and STOP using
Our main objective was To reduce waste by
connecting people who are throwing away
goods with others who are seeking the
same goods - We realized that we can
make trash to treasure for some. Moreover
Freecycle is a great concept and it can keep
useful stuff out of the landfill. We often
see some very nice stuff destined for the
landfill under our block of flats.
These were our goals - To have at
Many of our classmates and school mates were excited about the idea .Many of them felt our idea was
interesting and innovative. We then asked if they would want to exchange items and the response was
positive. Finally when asked what items they would to have and many indicated TOYS, books , costume
jewellery. We were not certain of the bulky items.Our BLOG. is www.prps-iconclub.blogspot.com We
would encourage our classmates to send a photo of the item to Our Email address
iconclub29@gmail.com . If they are unable to do so, then the person could bring the item to school and
contact us. Our member who is in charge of publicity would handle it.
Our project is on going and we would open our blog to everyone.With everyone’s support we can do
wonders and change Trash to Treasure
