BRAINSTORMING STEP
We explore the keyword of energy by reading articles and books to get information and identify our problems.

WE NOTE DOWN OUR FINDINGS AND QUESTIONS
collecting data and reporting findings
We visited Konphalindo in Jagakarsa, South Jakarta, a company which producing biodiesel from used cooking oil. We discussed about it with Mr. Endra . He explained that they get the oil from the people around them. They are able to convert used cooking oil into biodiesel with simple technology. They need 60 litters of UCO each production process. The biodiesel is able to power up the genset machine.
We report our findings through 6 Thinking Hats

We also interviewed the government organization BPPT (Badan Pengkajian dan Penerapan Teknologi)

experiment
We should conducted the experiment to change UCO into biodiesel with Konphalindo, but Konphalindo postponed it for a month. Whereas we cannot conduct our own experiment because it is dangerous, so we change the experiment.
Experiment
Observe the effect of throwing away UCO to environment
Question
What are the effect of UCO to water ecosystem and land ecosystem
Hypothesis
Throwing away UCO to water and ground can cause fishes and plant dead.
Material
-UCO
-2 pots of plans (Sansevieria)
-2 aquarium
-2 pots of water plans
-Fishes
Procedure
1.Pot A : watering with 1 cup of UCO every day
2.Pot B: Watering with fresh water every day
3.Aquarium 1 (4 fishes and a pot of water plant) pour 1 cup UCO every day
4.Aquarium 2 (4 fishes and a pot of water plant)
Result and conclusion
After 3 days leaves of sansevieria in pot 1 become brown
At day 1 fishes in aquarium 1 dead and water plant also dead on day 3.
Throw away UCO to environment is dangerous for ecosystem

Throw away UCO to environment is dangerous for ecosystem
action
|
Disposing used cooking oil has bad impact to our environment and not every body knows about this. So we decide to share our knowledge to others about the danger of using and throwing the UCO and how to recycle it.
|
We found a legal UCO collector, RSIK a Non Government Organization which collect the UCO from society. They will sell the UCO to a company who change the UCO into Biodiesel. Then they use the money for Education Program.

OUR PLAN
Goal
•Collect UCO from AL Jabr Community and distribute to R-Sik and Konphalindo. They will process it into biodiesel.
•Make campaign about the importance of collect UCO and process it into biodiesel rather than dispose to environment.
Role
•Students of Al Jabr
Audience
•Al Jabr community: students, teachers, helpers, parents, and Al Jabr Kitchen.
Situation
People don’t know that we can’t throw away UCO to environment. And we want to develop awareness about that.
Product
•Pamphlet and pamphlet
•UCO drop Container
•Campaign
Standards
• Collected UCO more than 60 litters
• Produce minimal 200 brochure
