World Biofuel Day Celebrations at VasantValley Public School

 

Sensitizing students about the environment and sustainability at an early age help them acquire the knowledge, skills and values necessary to support the transition to a more sustainable world. Hence, it is imperative that they should be aware of the Sustainable Development Goals, adopted by the United Nations, for the well-being of the Earth and every living being that it nurtures.

Keeping that in mind, World Biofuel Day was celebrated at Vasant Valley Public School, Sangrur on Saturday, 10th August 2024 by the students of Grades 9 and 10 .The importance of biofuels, which are produced from animal waste, algae and industrial and agricultural waste, was highlighted. The students were educated about Sustainable Development , which ensures access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all. The meaning of the word "sustainability" was discussed with them .The children were told how biofuels and clean energy work by producing power without having negative environmental impacts, such as the release of greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide .

The session commenced with students doing a small activity in the classroom where they were asked to switch off all the power points that were not in use as an initiative to save energy.

The lesson was concluded with a lecture delivering activity in the class by students. They discussed ways to use hydroelectric power, solar power, solar cookers, and battery-powered vehicles to reduce air pollution. It was a fantastic learning opportunity.

The School Principal Mrs.Anitha Rajagopalan made commitments by the students to support the biofuel sector and also educate others about the environmental and economic benefits of biofuels.
