Day 4

Today everyone divide up the work to be in groups which one group goes along the beach to collect some bottle that tourists left it, one group create a structure of product by steel rod, and another group go to buy some materials that need to be used in design such as rope and wire net. After we can collect everything as plan, we start to build up the structure by bending the steel follow the design and everyone tries to bind off steel frame until night. 


Our dinner is a grilled fish and we don't have any spoon or fork so we just make it simple eat by using hand, this is a local food which even it has to be grilled but it doesn't create much smoke and pollute the air. 

Everyone helps each other to work until 4 a.m. and the product that we think is formed and it is almost done. Because of everyone is too tired so we break and get back to sleep. Finally, today we can produce the product that made from the waste in the beach especially beer bottle to become more useful and can be use in real. With the design it can cover a normal rubbish basket and make everyone knows that the garbage that was thrown away and bad for environment, it can be changed to be useful and can be one way to save environment as well.

Day 3

Today we have a snorkeling trip in the morning to survey the marine life around Koh Tao. There is many coral reef and living things underwater world. The place that we go for snorkeling has lots of fishes that tourists can feed them by bread and another bad thing is most of people are smoke and then some cigarette butts fall into the sea. This is really bad for environment because while we are snorkeling, we see some fish bite a cigarette butt. It should not happen to living thing under the sea.
The last place, before we back to resort, is a Nang Yuan island we stop there for lunch. This island is very strict about bringing the plastic bag and water bottle into the island by checking everyone before get inside the island. 
After that we get back to New Heaven Diving School to consult the problems with staffs. And everyone wants to solve the problems about waste and cigarette so we think to design a product that use some garbage to be useful. Then we make a plan for tomorrow and after the meeting just take some salad for dinner and back to resort.
