This initiative is a part of Sustainable Development Goal (SDG 14) which aims to abreast the students about the adverse effects of plastic pollution and ocean acidification, thereby enabling them to understand its effects on coastal ecosystems.
Ten students of Class 9 have been selected for this project to collaborate with the students of Green Bank High School of Southport, UK. This international collaboration would help to instill core skills such as critical thinking and problem solving, creativity and collaboration in the students.
The students of Birla High School, have not only undertaken multifarious activities like poster making, open house discussions, mini-projects, surveys to showcase the reasons behind plastic entering into the oceans and into the food chain but have also come up with various suggestions which would help in preventing the plastic from entering into the oceans and removing it.
