MY GROUP PLEDGE :

My group and I pledge to reduce our monthly electricity bill by switching off the electrical appliances when we are not using it. We will travel less by public transport or cars and more by walking. We will recycle more things, for example, papers, plastic bottles, and cans. During shopping, we will bring our own shopping bags and refuse using plastic bags.
