The 2nd Environmental Education Carnival was held yesterday in conjunction with the 2nd Anniversary Celebration of PJ City Day and World Environment Day 2008. A total of 365 students and 33 teachers from 11 schools in PJ attended the one day session. The Carnival was organised by MBPJ and GEC supported by SK Sri Kelana under the partnership principle of Local Agenda 21 PJ. The aim is to raise stakeholders especially youth's awareness and knowledge about environment and sustainable development. Activities such as video presentation, quiz, talk, game and demonstration were held.
One of the interesting message brought forward is that participants were asked to bring along their reusable utensil for meals. Those came in with the utensil were rewarded and for those without utensil is either to buy them at 50 cent or stayed hungry. It is a small but meaningful step from the organiser to raise awareness about recycling and environmental protection. Kudos...
The participating schools were also asked to submit proposal on environmental projects for implementation at the school. The best 3 proposals are given RM 1,000 each for implementing the proposed activities. This is a follow through action to ensure continuity and acquisition of knowledge and skills are translated into action. It is hope that successful projects will become showcase and later replicate to other schools or neighbourhood.
Ultimately, MBPJ hopes that all schools in PJ are the sustainable school, and collectively we will have a sustainable community and City.
