The planet we call home, Earth, is facing numerous challenges that threaten its delicate balance and the very existence of life as we know it. From climate change and deforestation to pollution and loss of biodiversity, our actions have had a profound impact on the planet It is imperative that we recognize the importance of saving the planet and take immediate action to preserve and protect it for future generations. Therefore, having that in mind and our theme “Sharing the Planet” our students went on an embarking journey to help eliminate the usage of plastic to save our environment.

During the unit “Sharing the Planet” students were introduced to various problems that our environment is facing today and the ways we could contribute as a steward of God to help our environment to become a better place for all the living creatures. Our students had the opportunity to listen and have converse with Ibu Emeline from “Dyna Pack Asia” the company which aims to “Grow Sustainably by respecting the environment that we live in” Students enjoyed listening to her and conversing with her regarding ways to help our environment.

Having listened to Ibu Emeline and the teacher, students were also given the opportunity to implement the learnings at school Students went on a mission to recycle plastic by collecting plastic bottles or cups from around junior school. Students collected the clean plastic bottles and cups by placing carton boxes throughout the junior school classrooms which later was donated to “Dyna Pack Asia” to be recycled During this project students were divided in a various group for the various task to fulfill the responsibility as a steward of God in this earth by saving the plant by eliminating the usage of plastic.
