Last year, students at Green Hill Secondary School noticed that many plastic bottles were thrown away after lunch. They decided to start a project called “Refill and Reuse”. First, they asked the school to install two water refill stations. Then they encouraged students to bring their own reusable bottles instead of buying drinks in single-use plastic bottles.
At the beginning, only a few students joined the project. To attract more participants, the project team made posters and gave short talks in classrooms. They explained how plastic waste can harm rivers and oceans. The team also organised a competition: each class recorded the number of students who brought reusable bottles for four weeks.
By the end of the competition, the number of students using reusable bottles had increased considerably. Teachers noticed less plastic waste in the schoolyard, too. The project team plans to continue its work and hopes to invite nearby schools to take part next year.
