Following the mantra, “Think Green, Act Clean”, the students and staff of Delhi Public School, East of Kailash observed Earth Day as a Bagless Day. The day was dedicated to raising awareness about climate change, and more importantly, the role of the individual in saving the planet. The day started with the planting of a sapling by the Headmistress, Ms. Usha Diptivilasa, accompanied by the students. The students participated in various activities like Create Out of Waste and Clean Tiffin to incorporate Reuse, Reduce, Recycle into their daily lives. The students went on a nature walk through the school and made notepads out of waste paper and discarded materials. In Show and Tell, the students explained how they sourced various waste materials to create new and useful things for themselves. The day ended with a sense of commitment in the student body to take up the challenge to preserve our natural resources.
