Recycle Batteries Posters

Recycle Batteries for the Environment

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!

IC ADVERTISING FOR EARTH HOUR

EARTH HOUR

The Environmental Pioneers is encouraging students to turn off the lights this saturday from 8.30 to 9.30!

"We all have a vote, and every single vote counts. Together we can take control of the future of our planet, for future generations."

"This year, Earth Hour has been transformed into the world’s first global election, between Earth and global warming. "

Aliya El-Husseini, member in the Environmental Pioneers group, has done a wonderful job in decorating her class's bulletin board in order to encourage students to participate in the global Earth Day event.

I, Riad Hamadeh, prepared many posters in order to spread the news, and I posted them in the cafeteria and in the classes and corridors. Aliya distributed those paper in Verdun Street in the afternoon with the help of some of her friends (Farah El-Mawla, ...)!
