NAVI MUMBAI: Students of C. P. Goenka International School, Ulwe, observed World Environment Day on June 5th, 2025, with a notable initiative aimed at fostering a plastic-free locality.
As part of the day’s observance, pupils from Grades VII and VIII participated in a dedicated Plastic Collection Drive. They ventured onto the thoroughfares of Ulwe Sector 5, meticulously gathering discarded plastic bottles and wrappers. This endeavour underscored their commitment to environmental protection through tangible action, moving beyond mere discourse.
Teachers at the school expressed considerable pride in their students’ proactive contribution. They highlighted that the pupils had genuinely embodied the ancient Sanskrit adage, “Yo hi prakṛitiṁ rakṣati, saḥ svayaṁ rakṣitaḥ bhavati,” which translates to, “He who protects nature, is himself protected by nature.”
The effort stood out as a commendable example of community engagement in promoting a cleaner and more sustainable local environment.
