| description | The production of a new book requires raw materials to be extracted from the earth, published, and transported.
This process uses enormous amounts of material and energy. One way to save natural resources, protect the
environment, and most importantly save money is by reusing items that are utilizable. The Book Transit System
is created to minimize the waste of books being thrown away, especially by final semester students of Universiti
Teknologi MARA, Perak. In addition, it encourages knowledge-sharing within the community. The book transit
system is designed so that it can be attached to almost any solid surface and is user-friendly. While the design of
this system is flexible and varies, for the purpose of this study, a Book Transit Shelter has been created. An
existing shelter in the campus is utilized where a glass box, complete with steel book lift-up handle is attached
to the shelter. Students and/or members of the community who walk by can just drop in any size of book in the
glass box. As the glass is transparent, other students are able to have a quick look at the donated books. If they
are interested, they can simply lift the handle and pick up the book they want for free. This concept is adapted
from the zero-waste concept, but enriched with altruism and green environmental principles. |
