1、We carried out this investigation to better know the ban on plastic bags, improve people’s cousciousness about environmental protection and finally make efforts to our environmental protection.
2、Through this investigation,we improved our practical skills and strengthened our consciousness to save resources and protect environment.
3、It is the whole world’s consensus to restrict the use of plastic bags to reduce white pollution and environmental pressure. Through this activity, the meaningful propaganda helps citizens to realize that we should protect our environment and improve our living environment by reducing the use of plastic bags, and finally make such activities a new, healthy way of living. We hope that everyone of our society should actively protect our environment.
A Report on the Use of Plastic Bags in Our Daily Life
Investigation Plan:
1. Our main method is field survey and questionnaire survey. Our supporting method is collecting materials through the internet.
2. At the beginning stage, we collect materials on plastic bags and Ban on Plastic Bags. In the medium-term, we collect data by field survey and questionnaire survey.
3. In the end, we summarize the materials and data, and write an investigation report.
Investigation Process:
The whole investigation was accomplished on April 11,2009.
Team members got together at eight o’clock in the designated place. The team members who passed by country markets observed the use of plastic bags when buying vegetables. After get-together, team members summarized their observations and found that most seller still offered thin, colored and low-quality plastic bags. However, some buyers used plastic bags from super markets, baskets or cloth bag. Buyers who use baskets are mostly elders.
After get-together, team members walked to Huaxing Super Market. We firstly negotiated with mangers about the negotiation process, and then interviewed with several cashiers. We got to know that, before ban on plastic bags, one checkout generally sold 300 to 400 plastic bags per day. But after the ban, the number reduced sharply, to 120 to 200. After the interview, we separately observed around the checkout for 30 minutes and made a statistics of the use of plastic bags during the period. We also took pictures.
Survey the situation:
During lunch time, we handed out some questionnaires to some customers. After lunch, team members got together walked to waterfront park. We handed out the rest questionnaires to citizens and made data analysis.
Result of Investigation:
1. As far as we knew, citizens clearly knew the harmful effects of plastic bags. The starting point of ban on plastic bags is fine, and most citizens can understand it. However, the execution is not satisfactory. In super markets, the use of plastic bags is reducing, but there are still some customers who don’t care for the money and buy plastic bags. More and more customers don’t use plastic bags when they buy small amount and low volume commodities. Situation is worser in country markets. People seldom do not use plastic bags. Sellers voluntarily offer plastic bags and buyers do not refuse to use them. Thus, Ban on plastic bags is harldy executed here.
2. As a matter of fact, charge on plastic bags can not radically deal with white pollution, but is an effective method to improve environmental protection consciousness.Our country should continue to strengthen the propaganda of ban on plastic bags and make the ban on plastic bags a habit.
3. It is an urgent responsibility to find a substitute, which both can facilitate people’s daily life and is environmental protection, for plastic bags.

ABSTRCT
It all begins with once upon a time when the world is rich with natural resources-protected and untouched. As time flew by, these resources depleted into a critical stage. These natural resources are very beneficial and important to our life. Due to our greediness, we tend to exploit these resources and before we know it, they are decreasing right before our eyes. Therefore, we the Earth Rangers are on a mission to save the Earth.
We are currently doing a research on what the government and non government are doing to help conserve and preserve the resources. From the research, we found out that they have taken many steps to reduce the usage of natural resources. For instance, they had organized campaigns to create awareness among society such as the Recycling Campaign. Legislation of strict law had also been passed. In order to instill consciousness among young generation, they are being educated on the importance of the natural resources in Science and Geography. What captures our interest the most is the usage of used tyres as heat absorbers in construction of buildings. However, even with all these measures Malaysian specifically our local community still take this serious condition lightly. Therefore, “The Earth Rangers” are on a mission to enlighten them on the importance of conserving and preserving the Earth resources. We are raising awareness by giving talks, doing surveys and interviews and planting trees with children.
Our conclusion is the few steps of conserving and preserving as mentioned above will enable us to take better care of the world and its resources. It is our hope with this project the local community will be more cognizant on how to be responsible end users.

Forest: what do you think of when you hear the word? The lush Amazonian tropical rainforest, or the average seasonal forest just out of town? Although the tropical rainforest may be fascinating, the many other varieties of forest are often underrepresented.

“How can we take better care of our world and its resources?”
We think our project will come out well and we will have a pretty good site, and it will get our point across.
We used a book called “Alternative Fuel”, from the company “Saddleback Educational Publishing.” We also used a public domain picture site called: Public Domain Pictures-Bobek Ltd.
We think our project will help the world by giving people information on how to do things differently to make the environment better and GREENER…….
