Green Market Day

It started with a simple question during a school meeting: "How can we support our local community and protect the environment at the same time?"

Alya, the president of the student council, proposed an idea, Green Market Day. It would be a one-day event where students, teachers, local farmers, and small business owners could sell eco-friendly products at school. The goal was clear: promote sustainability and build partnerships.

The student council began contacting local farmers who grew organic vegetables. The science club designed posters to explain the benefits of reusable products. The business club helped vendors set fair prices and manage transactions using digital payment apps.

On the day of the event, the school courtyard was filled with colorful stalls. One booth sold cloth shopping bags made by a local women's group. Another offered handmade soap wrapped in banana leaves. There were even snacks made from local ingredients, packed in paper boxes instead of plastic.

Parents, students, and teachers came together, not just to buy, but to learn. Each stall included a short info board about how the product supported both people and the planet.

After the event, Alya and her team shared the results online, tagging the school's partners and thanking everyone involved.

DIY Eco-Enzyme: Cleaner, Greener, Smarter

Ingredients and Tools:

10 liters of tap water
1 kg of brown or unrefined sugar (avoid white processed sugar)
3 kg of fruit skins and/or vegetable waste (e.g. orange, papaya, apple, watermelon)
Clean 20-liter plastic container with airtight lid
Clean plastic stick or ruler for stirring

Note: You can halve the ingredients for a 10-liter container. Avoid using rotten or moldy waste.

Steps:

Pour 10 liters of tap water into a clean 20-liter plastic container.
Add 1 kg of brown sugar and stir until fully dissolved.
Add 3 kg of fruit or vegetable waste. If collecting takes time, store waste in the freezer until ready.
Mix the contents using a clean stick or ruler.
Seal the container tightly with its lid.
For the first month, open the lid every two days to stir the mixture and release gas. This helps oxygen support the fermentation.
For the next two months, stir it once every two weeks. Keep the container in a shaded area.
After three months, the enzyme should turn dark brown. Strain out the solid waste and use it as fertilizer.
Transfer the liquid into smaller bottles for easy use.

Tips and Use:

A white layer on top is normal and shows healthy fermentation.
The enzyme must be diluted by the use. Start with 1 capful per liter of water and adjust as needed.
Eco-Enzyme is safe, biodegradable, and can be used to purify air or repel insects.

How to Convert Organic Waste into Biogas

Converting organic waste into biogas is an effective way to produce clean energy and reduce waste. The process employs anaerobic digestion, a natural breakdown of organic material without oxygen, to generate a methane-rich gas suitable for cooking, heating, or electricity.

Materials:

Organic feedstock: kitchen scraps (vegetable peels, food leftovers), animal manure, garden waste
Digester: airtight container such as a plastic drum or sealed tank
Gas storage: flexible balloon or rubber container
Piping: inlet for waste, outlet for digestate, gas outlet for biogas
Tools: shovel, mixer or stirring rod, optional filters

Steps:

Gather organic waste and shred or chop into small pieces. Mix roughly two parts water to one part solid waste to form a slurry, which speeds up anaerobic digestion.
Pour the slurry through the inlet pipe into the sealed digester. Make sure all joints are airtight to maintain anaerobic conditions.
Inside the sealed digester, microorganisms decompose the organic matter through hydrolysis, acidogenesis, acetogenesis, and methanogenesis stages. Biogas forms over 2–4 weeks depending on temperature; optimal microbial activity occurs near 35°C. Lower temperatures greatly slow the process.
The gas rises to the top and accumulates in the storage unit. This biogas typically contains methane (50–80%) and carbon dioxide. It can be burned directly for cooking or heating.
Connect gas lines to a stove or burner designed for biogas. If desired, you can purify the gas to remove moisture and hydrogen sulfide for cleaner combustion. Always check for gas leaks and ensure good ventilation.
The leftover material, digestate, is nutrient-rich and acts as an organic fertilizer for gardens or crops.

Adapted from: Envy-Nature/envynature, 2025

Read the steps below.
I. Pour the mixture into an airtight digester.
II. Mix organic waste with water to form a slurry.
III. Use the leftover digestate as organic fertilizer.
IV. Collect biogas from the gas outlet after 2–4 weeks.
V. Use biogas for cooking or heating.

Which of the following is the most appropriate sequence for outlining the main steps of converting organic waste into biogas?

A. I → I → V → III → IV

B. II → I → IV → V → III

C. II → I → III → V → IV

D. II → III → IV → V → I

E. II → IV → III → I → V

For each group of readers below, decide whether they are likely or not likely the intended audience of the text How to Convert Organic Waste into Biogas.

Should Teenagers Be Taught Financial Literacy from an Early Age?

Financial literacy is a vital skill that teenagers should learn from an early age. Young people who understand how money works are better prepared to make responsible financial decisions throughout their lives.

First, early financial education teaches teenagers essential skills such as budgeting, saving, and setting financial goals. These skills are often overlooked in traditional education, yet they are crucial for everyday life. Teens who learn how to manage their allowance or part-time income develop habits that help them avoid debt and prepare for future expenses like college or buying a car.

Second, learning about money early fosters independence and confidence. Teenagers who know how to track their spending and make informed choices are less likely to be influenced by peer pressure or marketing. Understanding the difference between needs and wants empowers teens to spend more wisely and plan for the future.

Lastly, financial literacy helps teenagers avoid common traps such as overspending, credit card misuse, and poor saving habits. With digital payment systems and online shopping becoming more accessible, teens face financial decisions earlier than previous generations.

In conclusion, teaching financial literacy at a young age is essential. It is recommended that schools incorporate basic financial education into the curriculum and that parents actively involve their children in financial discussions at home. This two-way approach will ensure teenagers are prepared to navigate their financial futures with confidence and responsibility.
