Electronic waste is rising rapidly worldwide, including in Malta, containing toxic substances that harm the environment and human health when disposed of unsafely. Fast‑changing technology encourages people to replace rather than repair devices, wasting valuable materials and contributing to pollution and climate change. A questionnaire carried out by the school’s EkoSkola committee showed that while most members of the learning community understand basic recycling terms, many are unsure about e‑waste. Almost half dispose of e‑waste responsibly, though many still keep old devices at home. These findings inspired an action plan involving awareness campaigns and creative upcycling projects, such as turning old keyboard keys into keychains and bookmarks. The initiative aims to encourage repairing, reusing, and proper recycling to reduce e‑waste’s impact.

The Ekoskola Carnival Kilo Sale was a student-led initiative promoting sustainability and responsible consumption. It began by collecting donated carnival costumes to support students and families who may not afford new ones each year, later expanding to include clothing in good condition for all ages. At Ħal Għaxaq School, where carnival is highly valued, both students and teachers contributed. Over 300kg of clothing was collected and sold at €8 per kilo. Students actively organised, sorted items, and calculated prices, developing teamwork and numeracy skills. The sale was open to staff, families, and the Għaxaq community, and was also visited by the Mayor and Local Council representatives. Funds raised supported Ekoskola activities such as the orange juice sale and greenhouse regeneration. Remaining clothes were donated to a residential home in Żejtun and to Inspire Foundation. This initiative promoted inclusion, reduced waste, and encouraged responsible consumption through reusing clothes in good quality.   Part 2 https://youtube.com/shorts/1tt7-UUruow Part 3 https://youtube.com/shorts/Zw9KZDFGIik?feature=share   https://www.facebook.com/reel/821342437614976
