filed under Campaigning video Video Clips
awarded: Commended

This is Luqa Primary’s project for the litterless campaign. It involved active collaboration between our Year 6 classes, the EkoSkola Team the Pupil’s Council, the local Parish and the Luqa Local Council. The objective is to reduce the litter caused by the incorrect disposal of cigarette butts. Throughout this year the children learnt more about the dangers that cigarette butts pose not only to the environment but also to our body. During a clean up activity, we scouted the areas surrounding our school to identify specific places where there was a considerable amount of cigarette butts and we used the allocated funds to buy a number of outdoor ashtrays that will be installed in these designated areas. This will reduce the amount of cigarette butts in the soil and on the pavements. The objective of the video is to raise awareness about this issue with the public .
