Being part of the Eco Warriors Club, run by local NGO Earthchild Project, the children knew that it's up to them to take responsibility for their environment. This inspired them to take action and challenge all grade four's and their teachers to reduce their waste.
Teachers will be especially challenged to transform their classrooms into litter-free environments, with the Eco Warrior Club measuring their litter-levels on a weekly basis and documenting their progress. Once this phase of the campaign has launched successfully, the club will challenge the entire school, teachers and even the principal. They will focus on beautifying rubbish bins, campaigning with posters around the grounds, ensuring accessible and visible bins everywhere and inviting the entire school to participate. Champion learners and classes will be awarded with a certificate and bracelet to acknowledge their contribution to reducing waste at the school.
