National Tele24 News
Chandigarh
The need to introduce and develop habit of
recycling ought to be promoted on a massive scale, especially amongst our
younger generation. Over exploitation of our natural resources have brought us
to a point where we no longer can ignore environmentally sustainable lifestyle.
Recycling is perhaps the way forward in this regard. Stepping Stones has, since
the past couple of years entered into a collaborative programme with “Anadee
Recycled Paper Products” founded by Ms. Anju Gupta. This is an initiative for
Paper Recycling Awareness Campaign. This organisation deals with wood free,
Agro based recycled paper products dedicated to nature and in the process,
teach children about conserving our natural resources. Each month, on a
specified day, children contribute scrap paper, magazines or newspaper in
exchange for stationery in the form of notebooks, chart paper, paper pencils.
The children learn the importance of recycling and saving trees through this activity.
Principal Mrs. Anu Kumar feels passionately about this initiative taken up by
Ms Anju Gupta and whole heartedly motivates and encourages students to
participate in this value based activity. Stepping Stones family intends to
promote the value system; the idea that recycling is crucial and even the
smallest step can have significant benefits for the environment.
