FIRST CAPWIG CLUB FORMED

A 37 member club was formed during our resent awareness program at E.P.Basic School.
The participants were made up of the pupils of the JHS 1, 2 and 3 with attendance by some staff members and a welcoming headmistress.

The program took the form of power-point presentation as pupils were educated on the harms of plastic waste to the environment and ways to reduce the waste. The enthusiasm of the pupils towards the program was evidently demonstrated in their response to questions and answer.

Exercise books and pens were presented to some pupils who answered questions as a form of motivation. A plastic bin was also presented to the school to be managed by the CAPWIG club. The trash bin was a contribution from the pure water sellers in the school after we(CAPWIG) asked them to be responsible for the rubbish they make.

The CAPWIG club has the responsibility of living the 5 principles of Plastic waste reduction (please read the article (i have reduced plastic waste by something percent)and also educating friends and family to reduce plastic waste.

We hope to replicate this in as many schools that our resources will enable us and preach the message of plastic waste reduction.
