Aquarium fish swim among floating plastic waste, including a crushed water bottle, a clear food container, and an empty egg carton. The artificial lighting casts a blue hue over the scene, emphasizing the unnatural presence of pollution in an otherwise serene underwater environment. The contrast between the beauty of the fish and the disruptive plastic highlights the real-world issue of marine pollution and its impact on aquatic life.

We noticed that activities produce a lot of envelopes, so we decided to introduce reusable plastic envelopes to reduce waste. We carried out several fund-raising activities including a wrap and hot chocolate day. As an EkoSkola team, we tried to choose reusable envelopes that are sustainable. We plan to work with teachers to include the importance of the project in lessons, and possibly to obtain and pass feedback. We plan to use these reusable envelopes next year for Forms 1 and 2, to observe and adjust before doing the project for the whole school. We estimate that our school will save around 13.3kg of paper annually.
