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.
