Everyone\nloves a good challenge, especially an international one that transcends\nboundaries and connects people via the internet. The viral online #trashtag\nchallenge has done just that. In the last few months eager volunteers, conscious\nof their impact on climate change, gathered together and took part in the\n#trashtag challenge by cleaning up their beaches, parks, and roads in their\ncommunities and posting their before and after pictures online. This challenge\nwas done to raise awareness of the quantity of plastic litter that\ninternational society produces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SB\nOverseas has taken part in this international movement both in our Lebanon\ncenters and here in Brussels. In our Saida Centre in Lebanon, 1st<\/sup>\nGrade students were given a lesson on trash collection and recycling\ndistribution. This new found skills were then put to the test when they took a\nschool trip to the Saida beach where a litter-cleaning activity was conducted.\nOur center in Beirut did a similar exercise in their respective beaches. The\nproject aimed to take part in the international movement but to also engage\nchildren from an early age on the positive and negative impact they can have on\nthe environment. This activity presented a valuable lesson: there is plenty of\nwork to be done, but with the right precautionary measures and the willingness\nto take care of our planet, the work can be lessened, and the act of cleaning\ncan bring a community together. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

SB\nEspoir also conducted a session of recycling activities with our Brussels teams\nworking in the Woluwe-Sainte-Pierre and Uccle Centres. The activities aimed to\nengage the youth in the ethical ways of disposing of waste by teaching them the\nbasics of recycling and garbage sorting pertinent to the Brussels community.\nThen the creative part came, in which the youth participated in fun\nDo-It-Yourself projects using common but rarely recycled materials such as\npapers and plastic cups to create something new. The leftover waste was viewed\nnot just as a material to be recycled, but a material that could be reused to\ncreate something new and innovative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both\nactivities, spanning over kilometers of distance, presented a new issue that\npermeates our international communities: the existence of a waste hierarchy, in\nwhich many individuals refuse to reduce, reuse, and recycle their waste. In\nmany cases, this occurs due to the lack of awareness and knowledge regarding\nthe impact each individual has on our immense planet. Recycling is an excellent\nway to jump-start community involvement, but education on the fundamental\nvalues of waste reduction is just as important. SB OverSeas recognizes\neducation as a valuable tool and has actively incorporated the importance of\npreventative climate change measures in our education curriculum. The youth is\nthe future; we must provide them with the knowledge they need to care for the\nplanet. <\/p>", "protected": false }, "excerpt": { "rendered": "
