SDG-3, CODE GREEN- THE JOURNEY TILL NOW

It is so very rightly said "Your health is your real treasure and not pieces of gold and silver." Amongst the various topics we had, we chose SDG 3- Good Health and Well Being as a topic we'd work on as we felt health is the need of the hour, and the recent pandemic made us realize this the hard way.  We believe being healthy should be a part of our overall lifestyle. Living the correct lifestyle can prevent chronic and long term diseases. To promote the idea of maintaining a healthy lifestyle, we conducted various activities in our school to aware the Gen z, the future of the planet, about the same.

 We believed the first step would definitely be to introduce everyone about the topic. So the members of the Code Green Team were assigned the task to create a PPT, using their own knowledge, and in simple words, regarding the third SDG.  This was not only to introduce our fellow mates but also us. Researching and learning while making the PPT also helped us understand the issue to a greater depth. After introducing our fellow mates to the topic, we decided to test their raw knowledge about this SDG. We had

·       group discussions,

·       orientation sessions,

·        interviews

·       Incorporated in holiday homework

 

Which were led by the members of the team .We also asked:

·       The students of the Eco Club in our school to put leaf litter in the vermin compost site and observe it regularly.

 

·       There was a Google Form Survey conducted to see how many students' family members had breathing troubles.

 

·       The younger students had orientation session followed by a brainstorming session where Good Health and Well Being and how air pollution is a predominant cause of Ill health in cities were discussed.

 

All these activities helped the students’ be familiar with the cause we all will be working on for the next couple of months and future endeavours regarding the same. 

 

We are humans, the destruction and creation of our health and the planet play in our hands. Let us be responsible citizens and go the sustainable way. Go Green to Breathe Clean.
