The students of class 5 came together for a workshop conducted by Mrs Y Bapat, an environmentalist, on September 15, 2023, to turn non-biodegradable garbage like plastic into construction blocks.

This helps prevent plastic waste in the landfills and the degradation of plastics into toxins and micro plastics, which hurts marine life when they make their way into water bodies, and endangers our health.
