The Senior School celebrated Environment Week from June 5th to 8th June. The theme for this year’s Environment Week was #Beat Plastic Pollution. While there was always an effort to segregate waste at school as part of Greening the Purple, a special emphasis was laid on Zero waste this week. Students looked at simple measures they could incorporate that would lead to a better, cleaner environment.
On 7th June, Ms. Pavithra Attanayake conducted a session on Urban Wildlife and the Impact of Plastic Pollution on Urban Fauna. Ms. Pavithra is an environmental educator, conservationist and zoologist by passion. She currently works at the Wildlife and Nature Protection Society of Sri Lanka as the Project Lead of their Youth Wing. She shed light on the challenges faced by our urban ecosystems because of plastic pollution, and how this affects the delicate balance of nature in our cities and towns.
