As part of Green Action Week we engaged school and college students through hands-on activities in waste segregation and the urgent need to reduce single-use plastics. By teaching, encouraging, and modelling sustainable habits, we are cultivating a generation empowered to share solutions, reduce waste, and lead with responsibility.

Watch as school children struggle to cross a busy road, revealing the real dangers a child faces every day, just trying to get to school. Even a road as narrow as this can be a challenge to cross, as vehicles haphazardly stream by. This story, told through a child's eyes, is a powerful reminder that safe routes to school should never be a gamble. We need urgent action to ensure better roads and assured pedestrian safety near schools.
Green Action Week 2025 is here, championing the sharing of skills, resources, and tools to reduce waste, fight greenwashing, and build lasting sustainable habits.

Because every child deserves a safe, joyful journey to school.
