The Litter Less Campaign started on 6th of November 2015 in our Ostrava Elementary School, Nádražní.

The students from our Eco-Committee and our project coordinator prepared several activities about waste prevention, minimisation and recycling. It started early in the morning when our students weighed all the waste produced in one day by our school and we “put it on display” for the other students.

All this was followed by an unfeigned astonishment and surprise. The pile weighed 25 kilos! As a reaction to it, members of our Eco-Committee discussed it in every classroom, asking: “Why is it like this?” The Eco-Committee members suggested a solution but also wrote down every remark, idea and proposal.

The wild discussions were ended by a break. The 3rd and 4th grade had prepared an exhibition of healthy eating habits without packaging, which they exhibited during the break. The smell of wholegrain pastries, herbal teas, spreads and fruit salads made our school smell magnificently. Our students gladly came to eat healthy, without Coca-Cola and snack bars. The interested ones have learnt new recipes for pastries, spreads and salads.

The students ended the sunny day in the school ground, cleaning up everything.

The whole day was in the spirit of the Kenyan proverb: “Treat the Earth well. It was not given to us by our parents. It was loaned to us by our children.”
