INTRODUCTION
Hey there! We're students from Riverside Secondary, Class 3/5 and we're blogging here as part of the Youth for earth environmental competition. We'll be basically blogging about everything that we're doing for this project. So without further ado, i shall introduce our project.

Our idea is to organize an exchange programme within the school which will be held somewhere in July. This idea came from our lovely vice chairperson, yihui, (otherwise known as yinni the maid.) Kudos to her!! She was surfing the net the other day and happen to come across a website which allow people to exchange things they don't want, for something they want with people around the world. So with the idea, we modify and would be doing it on a smaller scale in school. This programme allow students to exchange things they don't want, not with the people around the world, but with fellow school mates.

There is an increase in the amount of domestic waste over the past few years and with this programme, we can definitely help reduce the amount of waste disposed.

Domestic waste disposed in million tonnes

	2001	2002	2003	2004	2005	2006
Waste Disposed	1.38	1.44	1.44	1.41	1.41	1.46

Yihui and myself would be the overall in charge of the project and we will also be the one blogging! Our class which consist of 40 people would be involved in this project but there are 12 main people who will be in charge. The 12 is divided into 4 department as follows:
