We did our first activity in the SISC Youth Impact Club!
Participating in this planting seeds activity, where we used plastic bottles and recyclable materials for planting various seeds, was both educational and fulfilling. Repurposing everyday items into planting containers highlighted the importance of sustainable practices and reducing waste. Beyond environmental benefits, the activity provided insights into seed germination and plant growth, fostering a deeper connection to nature. Collaboration among club members enhanced camaraderie and teamwork. Moving forward, this experience serves as a springboard for future eco-friendly initiatives, inspiring us to promote environmental stewardship and build a greener community.
