Why do we need to separate our waste?

Waste that is not separated usually ends up in landfill sites. These sites contain tons of waste that take hundreds of years to decompose. And some of this waste, such as some plastics will never disappear.

Our Grade 8 students took an initiative to educate their friends at school concerning waste separation as part of their Service as Action Program. They called it the "Think Before Throw" program. They prepared two bins for organic and non-organic waste, and they also went to each class to socialize their program. During lunchtime, they even sit by the bins to remind their friends to separate their waste.

Thank you Grade 8 students for your initiative. Let's make the world a better place. 🌏
