MEGA PLASTIC COLLECTION DRIVE at School till 30 April, 2022

Dear Parents,

Greetings!

Sooner or later, we will have to recognise that Mother Earth has rights too! It has the right to be free of pollution. Mankind must know that human beings cannot live without her but the she can live without humans. Evo Morales

Committed to creating a Clean and Green School, The Indian School is making continuous efforts to sensitise students, staff, parents and the community at large, about their role in maintaining a clean and healthy environment through its various programmes. Environment awareness and consciousness is well reflected in our teaching-learning strategies.

As we know, plastic is a new generation material that is irreplaceable and should be used judiciously and recycled. In the same direction, our School is glad to announce the second phase of the Mega Plastic Collection Drive in collaboration with ICPE ( Indian Centre for Plastic in the Environment) till 30 April 2022.

The ICPE, which was set up on the recommendation of a task force constituted by the Ministry of Environment and Forests (MOEF), is a body registered under the Societies Act on January 27, 1999. It is a nodal agency recognised by the Government of India to handle all issues relating to plastics and the environment, across the country.

To give this drive a wide reaching impact, it must encompass the entire School and the community. To restrict plastic being sent to landfills and junkyards, we need to mobilise the collaborative efforts of parents, teachers, and the student community.

We invite the parents and students of The Indian School to once more, come on board with us for this noble cause of environment conservation and to making our School, the community, and our city a sustainable place to live in. Remember there is no Planet B.

Participating students shall receive an e-certificate from ICPE.

The Mega Plastic Collection Drive starts on 18th April and will end on 30 April 2022. Follow the instructions as below, to submit your plastic waste.

1. Place the collected plastic waste into a bag neatly labelled ( students name, class, section and the school name). Ensure that the plastic waste is clean and dry.
