RECYCLED PLANTER CLIMATE ACTION PROJECT - WEEK 4

"He who plants a tree plants a hope." ~Lucy Larcom

In Week- 4, Students of Grade 1 have examined some of the potential solutions for climate change or specific environmental issues that are affecting our planet. To mitigate this cause and to save our mother earth at the individual level, they have prepared recycled planter and have written a thankyou letter to their plants. They learned about how we can ultimately lead to a better climate worth living.

"Trees provide us with many benefits necessary for survival, including clean air, filtered water, shade, and food. They also give us hope and insight, and courage to persevere – even in the harshest conditions. Trees teach us to stay rooted while soaring to great heights." Keeping these thoughts in mind students pledged to plant a tree on their birthday every year.

"We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children." -- Native American Proverb

This is true in every aspect as we are not immortal. We are mortal beings and this planet was not handed over to us as inheritance, but we are living on Earth as tenants. In our own greed, we are exploiting the resources that we are supposed to conserve for our children. It is us, who will have to take action towards the same, take initiative to save the planet from burning up in the avarice of humans to meet their ends.

This initiative is taken by the World Wide Fund by introducing The Climate Action Project 2020 all across the globe where all the students of all the schools are participating in the project by showing that they care. And this initiative is being taken forward by the Millennium World School, Faridabad.

We, at Millennium World School are facilitating the students by bringing their own ideas and motives forward to a safe and cleaner environment for the future of the planet, as they are the ones to carry forward our legacy of what we call our home, the Earth.

The students are taking regular sessions with the teachers, to contemplate the situation around us and are coming up with ways to tackle it. Not only that, we are taking interaction sessions with the schools of different countries as well.

On 20th October 2020, little millennium-ites of Millennium World School, Faridabad, under the guidance of our Principal ma’am Ms Sangeeta Dhamija participated in a Virtual Interaction Session on Zoom with the students of AMERICAN INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL, Costa Rica and Marseilles ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, Illinois. The students pondered upon various conditions faced in their respective countries/states and came up with ideas and ways to solve the problems faced.

It was a great session and the students got exposure to various solutions that can be taken up individually as well as nationally. The session ended on a note to carry the discussion forward as we all know the situation is far worse than it is anticipated and we are all coming together to bring out the best solutions. After all, we all have to live on the same planet.
