4R's [Activity-1 SCOTING BOOKATHON]
By growing awareness and gaining an understanding of the environmental impacts we have on our planet, we can be better informed of where and how to act. A lack of awareness and responsibility has all added up to polluted land, sea and air. From a lack of consideration of the environment in the way we manage waste to mass-producing throw-away items to keep up with demand. Thankfully things are changing and understanding the importance of the 4R's can certainly help us inform our choices.
By increasing our sustainability in the home and better managing our waste we can all make a concerted difference. Especially if we are to all play a role in helping keep our oceans free from plastic waste and reducing our consumption of needless items that can pollute our environment once disposed of.
The 4R's make for a simple yet effective way to help us consider the items that we buy, use and dispose of. When we choose to stop and think about each of the 4R's it helps us to consider a number of important aspects related to our consumption. From what we buy, to how we can reduce, to what can be reused and how we eventually get rid of it.
Activity 01
Background
Remember the days of our fathers and fore fathers, they used to make a Good Working Notebook with the unused books. Today we buy new Note Books at the end of the year, even though the notebook would have few blank pages left. While most of us have the privilege to start off with a new notebook, many of us in the Country have no access to these new Books and Also in the Days to Come Mother Earth will not be able to Supply us the Paper.
To address this Issue, The Bharat Scouts and Guides Kamataka has initiated the Project #Scoutsgivebackpaper to recycle the blank pages of the unused Notebook, It involves collecting blank pages left in notebooks from schools, students and separate unused papers from them, binding them together and making new books. Thus, we are creating awareness about the importance of reusing unused papers among the young people and the community and helping nature and also ensure we prepare the Refurbished Note books.
