REDUCE, REUSE AND REFUSE

Sensitivity - Last year (2009) we had workshop on "garbage, plastic etc" with Aarohi kids (part of Friday workshop) - we sensitized children on plastic and amount of garbage we produce/ create. We continue our learning this year and whole of our life.

One of the objective of this awareness is to REDUCE, REUSE AND REFUSE plastics. "It has to begin with me."

1. At school level - we promote use of junk (reuse),
2. Less use of disposable things (use reusable cutlery etc)
3. Use plastic sheets/ lamination etc MINIMUM, No use of thermocol (use card board, reuse cartoon boxes)
   

At home level we request parents

1. Use other things instead of aluminum foil while packing lunch/ snacks for your child  - involve the child
2. Minimum use of tissue paper (only for running nose) - use hand napkins to wipe hands etc - so ensure child carries hand napkins ALWAYS
3. Encourage use of cloth bags at homes - send things in cloth bags to school
4. Use rough papers
