Kharagpur: Griffins International School, Kharagpur launched Project “Earth Ambassador” on Earth Day this year. Earth Day is not just a day for cultural events at Griffins. It is an integrated part of the school curriculum to make the students climate educated. Under this project the dedicated students will spread awareness about Carbon Footprint, suggesting effective means to reduce it through simple yet effective manners.
As “Earth Ambassadors”, a group of
enthusiastic students will take the campaign forward. The project is
spearheaded by the principal Sarbari Brahma and learned mentors Sourav
Bhattacharya and Arpita Roy.
Under the ‘Paryavaran Sanrakshan
Gatividhi' programme, Griffinites created Eco bricks in order to spread
awareness towards creating a plastic free and safe planet for the future
generations.
An Eco brick is a plastic bottle packed
with used plastic. They serve as reusable building blocks. Eco bricks can build
furniture, gardens, play parks, structures and more.
Abishek Yadav,
Chairman, Griffins International School, says, “The earth is all that we have in common. Let us
encourage these young ambassadors and act with them to make Earth a better
place to live for the future generations. Eco-bricks prevent plastic waste from
disrupting the ecosystem and create an ecological consciousness against
plastic. It saves the earth from being infertile. It reduces the cost of
manpower and the usage of machinery. Our children are making Eco-bricks with
plastic bottles. We hope one day this baby step will shape up the future of
environment-awareness among children.”
