BVM Global School always emphasised on celebrating World Environment Day every year with meaningful activities. Grade 1 & 2 students made paper bags and learnt the importance of recycling to save our planet. Class-wise discussion of how to reduce pollution using a number of eco-friendly ways happened enthusiastically. Students of grades 3-5 after enhancing their knowledge about caring for the environment made booklet cards to help spread the awareness of 3 R’s – reduce, reuse and recycle.

Students of grade 6 also made beautiful pot paintings and planted seeds for growing new plants. Some even undertook planting in the garden within the school campus to make the surrounding green. Later on, they made attractive posters with slogans in a captivating manner to instill awareness to everyone by displaying it on pinup boards.

Our students from grade 8 also made posters on how to reduce plastic pollution, and the aftereffects of what would happen if we didn’t reuse, recycle or reduce materials. They made beautiful cloth bags from used t-shirts and paper bags from old newspapers.

This event went smoothly at every level and helped in delivering the take-home message of turning the Earth green for all the students. It also made them aware of how much reusable materials were getting wasted in their day to day life. The students have come to the level where they refuse instinctively to use any plastic materials. Therefore the event can be termed effective in reaching out to the children.
