Some pupils of St. Andrews R/C and Tampieni M/A Junior Schools in the Wa Municipality have expressed their readiness to practise sustainable packaging to reduce plastic materials on the environment.
Info Radio in partnership with THEIA International, as part of the Youth for Clean Communities (Y4CC) phase III, has identified that polythene bags and plastic materials are having negative effects on human health.
As part of efforts to reduce plastic waste on the environment, they are campaigning on the need for environmental consciousness among all generations.
They have been engaging some schools in the Wa Municipality on the project.
Pupils at the St. Andrews JHS expressed their readiness to embrace the initiative to help reduce plastic waste in the environment by living exemplary lives for others to follow.
Some pupils of the Tampieni JHS also outlined some of the negative effects plastic materials have on human health and the environment.
They thus embraced the initiative and gave the assurance that they will carry the message to their colleagues to help reduce the use of plastics.
The initiative by Info Radio and THEIA International forms part of the organizations’ Youth for Clean Communities (Y4CC) campaign's activities to drum home the need for environmental consciousness among all generations.
The school children were also encouraged to practice sustainable food packaging such as using reusable bags for shopping.
