Action Plan

WATER PIGGY BANK CHALLENGE

Our team members come up with an action plan called “Water Piggy Bank Challenge”. We aim to educate young kids at elementary school to save water in an interesting way. We want to help them build habits of reusing water.

To raise young children’s interests, we make a cute piggy bank with recycled plastic bottles. Children can design their own piggy bank with their 1.2 litter bottle. Please watch how we made the piggy bank.

Then we encourage children to collect waste water with their piggy bank and record how much water they saved per day. One full piggy bank can get a sticker. When the kids collect 10 stickers, they get NT$5.

We have tried this action plan at a nearby elementary school. They enjoy making piggy banks and saving water. We also read picture stories about world climate change to them. We believe that the seed of saving water has been planted in their heart.

The children will bring this idea of saving water back home to influence their parents and grandparents. Then everyone will be aware of saving water.

Water is a limited and valuable resource. From now on, it is our duty to create a “water-saving society.” Let’s save the water, save the world!

Steps for Making a Water Piggy Bank

Materials: The materials of making a water piggy bank include:

1 large PET bottle(2000ml), 1 small PET bottle(600ml)

6 bottle caps, 1 pair of scissors, 1 utility knife, 1 sponge

1 double-sided tape.

Procedures:

Step 1. Use a utility knife to cut a hole at 5×5 cm on one side of the large PET bottle.

Step 2. Likewise, on the opposite the 5×5 cm square opening of the small bottle, cut a 3×3 cm square opening.

Step 3. Cut another 5×5 cm square hole with a utility knife on the small PET bottle.

Step 4. Insert a sponge from the big hole of the small PET bottle, and align the two holes to glue the two bottles with an acrylic foam tape.

Step 5. Get 4 bottle caps and stick foam tape on the surface. Next stick them on the left and right sides of the centerline of the back of the big bottle hole as the pig’s legs.

Step 6. Cover the remaining two bottles with the bottle caps. Here you are!
