At our school we are constantly trying to promote the 3 Rs – Reduce, Reuse, Recyle. This scholastic year we are working towards eliminating single use plastic within our school community. For this purpose we have held a poster/logo competition where the children of the school used their creativity to design posters to create this awareness. Then 5 of these posters/logos were chosen and were printed on cloth bags. The cloth bags with the children’s original designs were going to be sold during parents day and merit week (which are not postponed) These cloth bags will be sold to parents/guardians/educators/children to promote reusing.

One of the most common uses of plastic in our world today is disposable straws. Although plastic straws can be recycled, their small size makes them easily missed in the recycling process. If the disposable straw is not recycled properly, it can find its way back into our environment where it poses many threats. There is a simple switch we can all make, reusable straws. Reusable straws can help reduce the amount of plastic we leave behind, making our world a better place.
