Streetscape, an initiative by Sri Sankara Vidyashramam, Thiruvanmiyur, with the Rotary Club of Madras, got off to a clean green start on Oct.21.
Two gaily painted tiltable bins were stationed in the school in an event on Oct.21, which was attended by distinguished Rotarians, the school Principal, parents, students and corporation officials.
At the event, students were requested to bring waste and were given guidance on how to segregate waste in the different bins. The students also painted the school’s compound walls with murals advocating for a cleaner and greener environment.
The venue also featured a ‘Happy Earth Selfie Booth’, which was the cynosure of all eyes. Attractive plant holders that were created from broken and discarded benches were showcased. A street-play by the students on the topic was the highlight of the day.
A press release from the school stated, “This Streetscape initiative is an activity in progress, as we ‘Give a Clean Sweep To The Pretty Streets’. It turned out to be a happy occasion, setting an example of school and neighbourhood partnership to create a positive green impact in our society!”
