Creating No-Idling Zones

On 12th July the students of St. Mary's School Dwarka created a no idling zone around their school campus by campaigning and creating awareness amongst  the bus drivers, parents and students by talking to them. The students of class IX and X created posters regarding how important it was to practice this to reduce environmental pollution and conserve the resources for the coming future generations. No idling zones promote switching or unloading the vehicles when they come to a long halt. The students enthusiastically participated in the campaign and acknowledged that loading and unloading the vehicle may take a few extra seconds but would save the future generations from struggling to acquire the resources for their utilisation. The campaigners were ecstatic to impact multiple minds and rightfully stood up to “Be the change you wish to see in the world.” as quoted by Mahatma Gandhi.
