Plogging session
Since we found various types of rubbish in our school yard and common areas, especially right after break time, we decided to organise a "plogging" session in the school facilities. Plogging consists in "picking up" litter from the yard and common areas while walking around properly equipped in order to identify, reduce, reuse and recycle residues. Our final goal is to fight against earth and water pollution! ♻️
