“Learning Proper Waste Segregation: A Start in Saving

Mother Earth”Organized by Evone Baranda

November 6, 2012At Assumption Academy Grounds

THE NEED FOR THIS PROJECTIn our community, I can observe that people aren’t really

mindful on how they dispose of their garbage. Some people throw their garbage everywhere though the trash bins are present or in their reach. Some don’t even know or can’t distinguish biodegradable to non-biodegradable wastes. And this idea needs to be corrected and taught to people, especially the students who are and should be models in the society by having a seminar on Proper Waste Segregation.

Goal of the ProjectThe goal of my project is to make the

students aware that by properly disposing wastes, it can help lessen/solve the community’s problem, which is pollution. Hopefully, the students will learn from it and be an example to everyone.

Project ActivityIn achieving my goal in this project, I organized a group of

students, specifically my colleagues to take part in this seminar and invited Engr. Niceforo S. Liberato, our Municipal Agriculturist, to be the speaker on Proper Waste Segregation to hopefully enlighten the minds of the students to do what is right and what is best for everyone.

In addition, I provided trash bins for biodegradable and non-biodegradable wastes and are placed in our school.

Step by Step Planning1. With the permission from our Directress/Principal, I

sent a letter to our Municipal Mayor requesting for Engr. Niceforo Liberato to be the speaker in the seminar on Proper Waste Disposal.

2. I invitingly announced to my colleagues to attend this seminar on Proper Waste Disposal.

3. Prepared a little “appetizer” to the speaker and the audience. Which some of the audience, by the way, have come to their senses not to throw their trash on the floor.

4. In addition with the seminar, I solicited money from my friends and relatives in helping me raise money buying trash bins.

5. With the approval of our Directress/Principal, the trash bins are now placed in our school.

Results

After my mini-project, about 50 students are now aware of the importance of properly disposing/ segregating waste materials. In addition, with the installment of the trash bins in our school, the students can now throw their garbage in its designated trash box.
