We are all familiar with how much our surrounding is getting contaminated and is already at the apex of losing its balance because of so-called renovation and development. The rising use of resources and ever-increasing demand for diverse modern things are imposing damage on our planet. This up and coming lifestyle of people today is demanding more and more disposable products, contributing to a large amount of garbage produced on a daily basis. One of the major evil-doers of this is plastic, which is responsible for the intensifying levels of land pollution in our environment.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

To save the earth from this wreck, and to save it from getting destroyed, Earth Day is celebrated every once a year on April 22, to express support for environmental protection. Each year more than one a billion people commemorate Earth Day to shield our planet from pollution and deforestation.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Earth Day motivates us to show concern and responsibility towards our beloved planet. The Early Years students of BSS Steel Town arranged a campaign of \u201csay NO to Plastic\u201d by reusing the plastic from our surroundings instead of throwing it, and also made sure to try and say no to plastic in future. For this campaign the students reused and recycled the plastic water bottles which are excessively being used in our homes, to make a beautiful hanging garden in the school, which resulted in not just saving the earth from the land pollution caused by plastic but also condemn deforestation as well.<\/p>\n

Early year students performed the plantation activities in school. For the activity of making a hanging garden, the students brought different plastic water bottles from their home to convert them in to something useful instead of throwing them away.<\/p>\n

The first activity was performed by the students of Kindergarten class. The students brought a full size plastic water bottle and one plant each from their home. After that they cut the bottles into half and colored them using various colors. Later they put soil inside the bottles and planted the different plants in them using gardening tools and watered the plants and then hung them by the wall using threads. The students successfully made a beautiful hanging garden on one of the school\u2019s walls.<\/p>\n

The second activity was performed by the students of Pre-Nursery class. They also recycled and reused the plastic water bottles. For this activity they also used the full size plastic water bottles. After that they colored the bottles and put soil in those bottles using gardening tools and planted different plants. These bottles pots were also hanged on one of the wall in an attractive manner.<\/p>\n

The entire purpose of this campaign was to make students realize how much plastic is being used by us in daily life and how it\u2019s damaging the environment. The students were taught that it\u2019s high time now to say no to plastic and not to throw those plastic products which are already present in our environment, but reuse them in something productive.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
