As an individual of St Peter’s College is the environment really something you worry about? Do you realise that 30 years from now there might be a World War 3 over a natural resource that we waste daily and constantly take advantage of? My question to you is if you care enough to change this reality?
St Peter’s College has given students, staff and visitors many opportunities to make a positive contribution to the environment:
· The big orange Mondi bin at our main gate to recycle paper
· Cardboard bins in every class to recycle even more paper, this is handy for a quick disposal of that note you nearly got caught passing around in class
· Large stone dustbins are placed around the school for your convenience, although I have noticed that students have become somewhat caring for the birds and left their food scraps on the floor. How thoughtful.
· Recently we have had a dam built to the right of our new pavilion, this is for the saving of water around the school by using the dam for irrigation of all our fields and gardens
But surely we can do more? All we are doing is throwing rubbish away and helping our water bill.
Shouldn’t we have recycling bins on the school campus? Imagine recycling glass, plastic and paper the right way. The school could potentially earn a few extra thousand Rand each month!
This money could effectively be used to donate more to Habitat for Humanity or even the Matric Dance Committee. Why should we sit here and do nothing when we can do something and have a positive outcome?
I dare you to make a difference; I challenge you to be the change you want to see in the world.
