'Say NO to Plastics'

Awareness Drive

On, 28th April, 2022

At TJIS, Kanpur

 

The School Assembly was addressed by Dr. Sanjivani Sharma, a Dentist by profession and founder of Kanpur Ploggers, an NGO that has been raising awareness about plastic pollution and cleaning the ghats of Ganga river in Kanpur. The NGO has been successful in preventing more than 10 thousand kilos of plastic and other pollutants from reaching the holy river Ganga. The trash is collected by volunteers and sent to waste management plant.  Additionally, plastic packets are also collected from homes and are recycled.

Ma'am shared a beautiful song of AR Rehman on the theme along with the endeavours of the NGO.

The facts about the harmful effects of plastic through PPT were an eye-opener. The students were reiterated to have dialogues with people using plastic and explain them the 4 R's - Refuse, Reuse, Reduce, Recycle and motivate them to prohibit the use of plastic that is hazardous for the environment and fatal for both human beings and other creatures.

We should Refuse using plastic spoons, plastic water bottles, tea cups, glasses and start using non plastic things was the promise she took from all present. Carrying our own water bottles is safe.

The students and teachers were invited to be a part of this cleanliness mission and join them on Sunday at Ganga Ghats.

The Morning Assembly ended with the inspiring words of Officiating Principal Ms. Deepa Singh and felicitation of the Guest Speaker.

Overall, the Morning Assembly was very interactive, interesting and informative.
