We noticed that activities produce a lot of envelopes, so we decided to introduce reusable plastic envelopes to reduce waste. We carried out several fund-raising activities including a wrap and hot chocolate day. As an EkoSkola team, we tried to choose reusable envelopes that are sustainable. We plan to work with teachers to include the importance of the project in lessons, and possibly to obtain and pass feedback. We plan to use these reusable envelopes next year for Forms 1 and 2, to observe and adjust before doing the project for the whole school. We estimate that our school will save around 13.3kg of paper annually.

Littering is when a person throws her/his waste on the floor anywhere they are. How can we prevent littering? We can prevent littering and have a cleaner country. When you need to throw away something, dont throw it on the floor as when it rains all the litter that was on the road will end up in the sea. We have cleaners cleaning the street but don’t make their job harder and just use the trash bins you find around you.
