The ECO Club of St. Joseph’s Sr. Sec. School Sector- 44 D, Chandigarh initiated the Green Campus campaign by saying “No to Polybags and Aluminum foils” in the school premises. This move was taken keeping in view to teach the young minds the hazards of plastic and the ill effects of aluminum foil on their health. The teachers talked to the students about the accumulation of plastic in the environment due its non-bio degradable nature which results in various health hazards in humans and animals.
