During the event, participants were given an in-depth understanding of the negative impacts that can arise due to improper waste management. They also learn about sustainable practices that they can apply in their daily lives.
This event highlights the important role of schools in shaping students' thinking and behavior patterns. Petrus Van Diepen Seminary School, along with other schools, can be a strong agent of change in encouraging better waste management practices. They not only impart knowledge, but also educate students about social and environmental responsibility.
The ultimate goal of this event is to inspire future generations to become active agents of change in protecting nature. With a better understanding of the importance of sustainable waste management, students are expected to become pioneers in preserving the environment.
