Our group came out with this particular diagram to show the links between what we are doing ( Going Green ) and what we are facing. Pollution, seemingly the center of attention in the diagram, will be what we are focusing throughout the project by explaining the links between them.In fact, this diagram is not nonsensical if you study it carefully. However, we would not expect you to understand the linkage between the words without us explaining. We have difficulties coming up with this diagram as well (: and do pardon me for the graphics.
For now, we will start with the one on the far left of the diagram:
Going GREEN
Singapore established this plan of going 'green' to involve all of the fellow citizens to do their part in saving the earth. Going green, in this case, we mean it literally.
Of course, green would mean loads of stuff but what do you see everyday, without fail? Yes, that's right. Trees and plants.
Our Idea
Hence, for our group, we made use of the idea of green building to promote the awareness of going green. Green building is a technology whereby plants are not planted and grown on the ground, instead we do that on walls and roofs. 
As for this picture above, it shows the green walls at Hortpark.
As for this picture, it is an example of how green roofs look like.
We will talk above various benefits that are relevant to our main idea to save the earth in this project.
Green roofs improve the air quality by absorbing the gaseous pollutants through photosynthesis. This is definitely one of the very good news as Singapore is a bustling city filled with vehicles on the roads of the Central Business District. Inhaling gaseous pollutants would really be a bad idea.
In addition, the gaseous exchange carried out by the leaves during photosynthesis add oxygen into the atmosphere.
Secondly, green roofs also cool the air due to the transpiration of leaves hence reducing the cost of air transfer from hot to cool in air-conditioning. Therefore, this would also alleviate the negative elements in the diagram we came up with as less energy would be used from power stations. Wow, isn't that great?
Although the cool air coming out from the air-conditioners are undeniable, cooling and nice, we should also try to enjoy the same effect produced by transpiration. Who knows, you might find it better. Also, imagine us at the brink of abyss when mother earth collapse because we use too much air-conditioning ( it may happen ).
Green roofs and walls also keep the buildings cool and hence create a micro climate which is beneficial to the climate of a city in the bigger picture.
