Robert Swan once said, "The greatest threat to our planet is the belief that someone else will save it." September, being National Clean Up Month, offer us a valuable opportunity to come together and actively protect our environment. As a student in Special Science Class and an advocate for our environment, I recognize it's my responsibility to take initiative instead of relying on others to take the lead. Students can easily contribute by participating in clean up events, educating their peers about the importance of maintaining a clean environment, planting trees, and promoting the 3Rs: reduce, reuse, and recycle.
Here are some actions I took that contributed to the protection and care of the environment:
Collecting litter around the school is an important initiative that not only helps maintain a clean and safe environment for teachers and fellow students, but also fosters a sense of community responsibility and encourages everyone to take pride in our shared space.
Actively participating in a clean-up drive event at our school allowed me to contribute to the beautification of our campus while fostering a sense of community and environmental responsibility among students.
Participating in a recycling contest allowed me and my friends to collect waste materials and creatively repurpose them, significantly reducing waste while promoting environmental awareness in our community.
