For the past four months, “The Environmental Pioneers” club in the Middle School has been working on an Ecobatt project to promote recycling batteries at IC with the help of an NGO called “Beeatona”. Batteries are extremely harmful for the soil if disposed improperly. The chemicals found in the battery may leak and damage the soil. 
This is why Hiba Siblini, Mohammad Ali Maktabi, Riad Hamadeh, Aliya El Husseini, Adnan Ammache and Feras Wahab studied the importance of this project. Through posters they prepared they stressed the importance of using rechargeable batteries and proper ways of disposal.
Advisors distributed to all middle school students brochures that reveal why batteries could be dangerous and discussed with them ways to reduce battery wastes. “The Environmental Pioneers” also put together a movie and a poster illustrating the importance of this campaign and participated in a competition among schools at the UNESCO palace. We strongly encourage everyone to place their worn out batteries in the box placed in Sage Hall next to middle school office. Collected batteries will be shipped to a recycling plant in Egypt. Hand in hand, together we can all work for healthier and safer environment!
