That is how I initiated the experience the plan I did was add reminders to water the plants or call the gardener once in 2 months or so , to check upon the progress my plants made.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>LO-4 (Show commitment to and perseverance in CAS experiences) &#8211; As this experience was heavily based upon nurturing the plants , there was a lot of commitment and perseverance required , like committing to the process of looking after them daily , and doing it again and again everyday made me persevere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>LO-6 (Demonstrate engagement with issues of global significance) &#8211; The global Issues I catered to here were global warming and increase in carbon emission , to counter them I am planting plants which take in carbon dioxide and exhale oxygen , which in turn reduces global warming and carbon emission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My final Takeaway on this experience is that we all need to do something for this issue globally , and everybody should at least plant 2 plants in their homes , it will contribute in a small but meaningful manner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/classof2023.fountainheadschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/PXL_20220929_021536725-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8547\" srcset=\"https:\/\/classof2023.fountainheadschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/PXL_20220929_021536725-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/classof2023.fountainheadschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/PXL_20220929_021536725-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/classof2023.fountainheadschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/PXL_20220929_021536725-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/classof2023.fountainheadschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/PXL_20220929_021536725-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/classof2023.fountainheadschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/PXL_20220929_021536725-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In this experience I planted a variety of plants in my balcony and took care of them (watering them daily, loosening the soil etc.) which helps decrease the carbon footprint in a tiny manner and provides more oxygen in the air.
