Environmental Awareness Campaign - Walking Green....

In this academic year GWEC has taken the initiative to give a presentation/lecture on current environmental and ecological issues. This project is an extension of the award winning project of GWEC at the environmental awareness competition organized by ECA Alumni Project of Department of State USA. GWEC members will visit each class starting from KG-1 to Class-10.

Students will be shown an animated satire cartoon video aimed to raise awareness of how the modern man exploits the environment in his day to day activities and bring about in them, a self-realization of sorts.



The lecture succeeding the video will encompass issues raging from air pollution, ecological imbalance, environmental economics etc. The content of the lecture may be modified depending upon the age of the audience. The lectures will end with the distribution of leaflets, designed by the current members of GWEC, containing details of how the students as individuals/future citizens may live a life within the whim of sustainable means and act to solve some common problems. The contents of the leaflet are given below:
