Van Mahotsav @ 'Air Pollution-Causes and Effects'

-

Air pollution is posing a great threat to our health nowadays. It is imperative that each one of us contribute in our little ways, to make the world a better place to live. Specially, the younger generation needs to be updated with the possible health and climate challenges in near future. With the same vision, St Mary’s School, Dwarka has initiated a campaign to curb air pollution for the well-being of everyone. The campaign started with the Orientation of exuberant and dynamic members of the CODE  GREEN team. in the 1st week of May.

The team members prepared a PowerPoint Presentation on 'Air Pollution-Causes and Effects'. Class teachers of std. 6 & 7 shared it with the students. Brainstorming session was conducted to discuss the possible solutions to air pollution, which is indeed planting more trees.


The main plan comes into action with the plantation drive. The students of classes 6 & 7 grew new plants from the seeds /the existing plants in a pot, during the summer holidays. They took great care of them by watering them regularly. Then the students gifted these young plants to their friends, relatives, and neighbours, thus spreading the message of going green. They prepared a scrap book, displaying photographs of each step- from growing the new plants to gifting them to people. The feedback of the recipients of this eco-friendly gift was also included in the scrapbook.



From July 1-July 7- Van Mahotsava was celebrated in St. Mary’s School Dwarka. The students arranged the pages of their scrap books wherein they pasted pictures of the plants they grew and gifted to others on thread and decorated them in the class. This aims to sensitize them to grow and take care of trees.
