  The article “Spray-on, Rinse Off Food ‘Wrapper’, Can Cut Plastic Packaging” written by Jones (2022), introduces a revolutionary solution which is capable of food preservation whilst being environmentally friendly. Most of the packaging that is used in the modern world does an excellent job of preserving the cleanliness of our food which prevents food-related illnesses. However, this comes at the cost of a large amount of plastic being thrust into our environment.  In the packaging industry, 50% of the plastics produced from fossil fuels are for food packaging. (Ncube et al.,2020) The way this new form of packaging works is that a biodegradable fiber, pullulan, is applied through “focused rotary jet spinning” (FRJS) and is spun around the food, functioning as a wrapper which can be easily washed off upon consumption. These fine fibers have been “generally recognized as safe” (GRAS) by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and are “laced with naturally occurring antimicrobial ingredien

However, this comes at the cost of a large amount of plastic being thrust into our environment. With the introduction of this new spray-on wrapper, we can greatly reduce our carbon footprint by cutting down on the extensive amounts of plastic being used today. The way this wrapper works is that a biodegradable fiber, pullulan, is applied through “focused rotary jet spinning” (FRJS). The fiber has been “generally recognized as safe” (GRAS) by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, contains organic antimicrobial properties and is easily washed off upon consumption.

With the introduction of this new spray-on wrapper, we can greatly reduce our carbon footprint by cutting down on the extensive amounts of plastic being used today. The way this wrapper works is that a biodegradable fiber, pullulan, is applied through “focused rotary jet spinning”. The fiber is edible, portrays antimicrobial properties and is easily washed off upon consumption. An experiment on avocados has proven that the spray-on coating is able to keep fruits fresh for an extended

Subject: Self Introduction Dear Professor Brad, My name is Timothy Lee, and I am a year 1 mechanical engineering student in your critical thinking and communication class. I am writing this letter to better introduce myself and grant you a clearer depiction of my character. Having graduated from Ngee Ann Polytechnic in 2020 with a diploma in mechanical engineering, my interest in engineering only strengthened after being introduced to 3D modelling software. I discovered that I really enjoyed being able to draft out as well as animate perfect models of objects and mechanisms. Furthermore, I found myself being exceptionally good at it too, always being able to stay ahead of the class. Through this interest, I decided to further my studies in SIT in hopes of pursuing a career in this field of expertise. In my free time, I enjoy playing the piano which I had took lessons for since I was young. Although, I dropped out of lessons when I got older as I disliked being forced to play classical

Critical Thinking is the key to having effective communication. It allows for rational thinking and sound thinking, which then drives effective communication. In a business context, having critical thinking can mean the difference between a lost and a profit.
