This event serves as a platform for teachers, students and public as a whole to learn about the benefits of garbage segregation and an opportunity to integrate the segregation model into education institutes and more importantly into homes across Pakistan. Speaking on the occasion, Dr. Ejaz Ahmad said that WWF - Pakistan aims to further enhance public awareness by engaging the youth in environmental education activities. The purpose of the programme was to engage school students and teachers in a structured awareness programme to foster a sense of individual responsibility and accountability in future generations towards nature conservation. Green Students along with Chief Guest, Principal and representatives from WWF Pakistan and BSS participated in the segregation of garbage and other environment oriented activities. WWF - Pakistan’s Green School Programme provided three colour coded garbage bins to the school to reinforce and facilitate garbage segregation.
