Using reusable products, reducing single-use plastics and reducing the use of resources will ultimately help our planet avoid the global warming crisis. Even a small change such as switching from single-use to reusable will help the issue get a little better. If we can get everyone to make at least one of these simple changes, our planet and the human race will have a better chance of surviving.
Here are 10 ways to become more sustainable:
1. Buy a reusable straw.
2. Buy reusable containers.
3. Buy a reusable bag.
4. Buy fair trade products.
5. Buy from local farmers.
6. Try to buy fewer products wrapped in plastic.
7. Try eating less meat.
8. Try using less energy.
9. Try carpooling/take the bus.
10. Resell/donate your old clothes.

“The word sustainability means you're trying to meet the needs of the present but making sure that there is something left for future generations.” - Mr Pasamba
With the big 100 year anniversary quickly approaching, ISM has decided to focus this year on sustainability. There are a number of projects that will help the school reduce waste and use sustainable alternatives.
ISM is pushing students to bring their own cups as the ones that are currently being used are non-recyclable. As of November 4th, the Bearcat Cafe will no longer serve drinks in single use cups. There are many alternatives such as bringing your own cups which are sold in the Bearcat Den, or you can simply dine in and use a ceramic cup.
In the ISM Kantina a new rule is being implemented where if you bring your own container you get 5 pesos discount. There are more people using the plastic and paper containers than people bringing their own. Students hesitate to use reusable containers as they can be messy sometimes and the process of washing the container can be annoying, but if everyone contributes and uses reusable containers it would decrease the amount of plastic used dramatically. If you buy food at ISM everyday that means that you alone would use approximately 200 plastic containers in a year! However if you bring your own container this number can be reduced to one.
ISM has stopped using straws in the Kantina and Cafe as of last year as they are unnecessary and unsustainable. This was one of the first actions taken to make our ISM Kantina more sustainable. If you want to use a straw, a sustainable solution would be to use a metal/bamboo straw which is reusable and easy to carry with you. Follow ISM’s lead and work towards a more sustainable future!

As kids, we all fell in love with the movie series Mulan. The strong female lead, the representation of Chinese culture, and the iconic songs like reflection.

The film was announced to be in development on March 30th, 2015, and it is set to be released on March 27th, 2020. Though it is a remake, Disney has changed a lot of things due to it being more based on the original Chinese legend. Stars that are in the live-action film are Liu Yifei (Mulan), Yoson An (Chen Honghui), Jet Li (the emperor,) and Donnie Yen (Commander Tung).
Changes in Mulan:
There will be no songs in the live-action remake.
