PLASTIC-FREE EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES
An important part of school is the extra activities where fun and celebrations happen. A lot of times we forget to carry on the general practices of plastic bans like refillable bottles and bringing snacks in plastic bags, styrofoam boxes or plastic wrappings. This can add up to a lot of accumulated plastics. Apart from this, school premises are sometimes rented. These functions also must be encouraged and instructed to be plastic free.
