Secondary Avenue Environment and Sustainability

The survival of the world depends on the safety

of the environment. However, due to certain

human activities taking place today,

environmental resources are being damaged

and nature is being polluted. It is a great threat

to the future of mankind. Therefore, all human

beings living in this world have a responsibility

to protect the environment.

“Parisara mithuro” is a project organized by

Rotaractors to provide a long-term solution to

this global catastrophe. The ultimate aim of this

project was to develop the attitude of young

children to ensure the safety of nature and to

give them a proper education of environmental

pollution and its consequences. The main target audience of this project was

young children because they are the future

guardians of the society. They must be people

who love the environment and recognize the

value of the environment. For this series of

sessions, students of Reggie Ranatunga Science

College, Minuwangoda participated and it was a

well-planned, enthusiastic, brainstorming

program.

The engagement and enthusiasm shown by the

students at all stages of the project was

incredible, proving that the project was

successful in influencing the children's’ attitudes

towards sustainability, conservation and

reduction of plastic pollution.

The Rotaract Club of GITAM, India also collaborated with the organizing committee in order to deliver

the same outcomes in India, thus converting the project into an International Service initiative as

well. The entire organizing committees too were influenced by the project and strive to adjust their

lifestyles as mentioned and also to continue similar activities in the future.

This project successfully motivated the children to keep their surroundings clean and manage waste

properly and also made the children aware of their responsibility to reduce pollution and increase

environmental safety.
