1.INTRODUCTION BACKROUND OF THE PROJECT We have embarked on this project to promote a healthy environment for the learners and local community. Awareness campaign should be promoted through environmental teachings. They must be taught how this unhealthy environment is going to affect their lives. REASONS FOR SELECTING THIS TOPIC What is the real problem? Dumping Community dumps waist near the school. This creates an UNHEALTHY ENVIRONMENT STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM Why is it a problem? Disturbs the flow of the traffic (road gradually closing). Pedestrians (learners) shares the road with traffic. Overflowing of septic tank Rain water causes dongas on the road. WHY DID I CHOOSE THIS PROBLEM Health hazards Environmental pollution Protection of underground water
LEARNERS GOING TO SCHOOL OVER-FLOWING SEPTIC TANK
2.PROCEDURES FOLLOWEDTO SOLVE THE PROBLEMS (ACTION PLAN: AWARENESS CAMPAIGN) Who did I consult with? • Educators • Parents (meeting) • Community members(interview) • Council members • Library(sources of information) • TV(sources of information)
3.UNHEALTHY ENVIRONMENTwaste management INTERGRATED WASTE MANAGEMENT What is waste? • Solid waste • Hazardous waste IDENTIFICATION
TOXIC AND HAZOURDOUS MATERIALS • Cleaning products • Paint and building products • Gardening and pest control products • Automotive products • General products SOLID WASTE • Septic tank or sewage system
4.IMPACT SOLID • Much production • Garbage • Pollution IMPACT HAZARDOUS • Toxic • Catches fire easily • Reactive • Corroding
SOLID WASTE • Impact at school
HAZARDOUS A case whereby a learner was burnt from burning waste: Pesticide container burst.
WAYS OF DEALING WITH SOLID AND HAZARDOUS WASTE WASTE MANAGEMENT • Burying? • Burning? • Recycling • Reuse POLLUTION (WASTE) PREVENTION • Using methane gas (case study) • Shipping?
CURRICULUM LINKS AND ALIGNMENT OF LEARNING AREAS 1.BASWA LE MEETSE COMPETITIONS 2.CELBRATING WATER WEEK
6.CHALLENGES • Community not co-operative • Council members take too much time before addressing the problem. • During rainy season, learners using the passage, experience difficulty.
7.RECOMMENDATIONS • Community should make dumping sites in their yards. • They should pay for their services. • Council members should meet community members to discuss and come up with solutions to the problem. • Proper control of rain water be introduced.
8.WAY FORWARD • No dumping of waste near the school.(clean environment) • Protection of underground water(parents should protect the borehole) in the school yard so that in turn learners do like wise. • Municipality should make tarred road with speed humps. (protection of pedestrians, preferably learners). • Water should be channeled, and a walk-path be made. • Warning signs be available, e.g. pedestrian crossing, dumping free area.
NEXT LEVEL • MY AIM IS TO TRANSFORM THIS DUMPING SITE TO A PLAYING GROUND
9.CONCLUSION • Let us manage our waste so that we can live in a healthy and pollution free ENVIRONMENT • LEARNERS, PARENTS, EDUCATORS and the COMMUNITY lets join hands to be “ENVIRONMENT WISE” people.
