On the eve of 150th Birth Anniversary of 'Mahatma Gandhi' our School got one more feather in its cap. It has been chosen as 'Plastic Free Institute' Accredited with Grade 'A' given by Green Earth NGO, Kurukshetra, Haryana.
Ms. Priyanka and Ms. Sunita of Green NGO inspected the every nook and corner of the school premises. They were pleased to see that good number of students have started bringing stainless steel water bottles and tiffins.
NGO Members apprised the Students, Parents and Faculty Members about the ill effects of using Plastic in our day to day life. They said that Polythene is non-bio-degradable product and cannot be eliminated without damaging the environment.
When eatables are carried in them the chemicals used to make them get mixed with them. So polythene bags make the food items poisonous. if the animals chew them, they go to their abdomen and cause them swear pain and most of the time become a strong reason for their deaths.
The 80% of the total garbage is made of Polythene bags.
They reiterated the students that instead of these plastic bags they must use bags made of cloth and paper.
