<strong>Green</strong> Consumer Day: Make the Right Choice!<br />
<strong>Green</strong> Consumer Day is celebrated on September 28 every year. This global celebration<br />
highlights the problems of consumerism and its impact on the environment. This is an area<br />
of major concern in today’s global market orientated world. We should focus primarily on<br />
awareness-raising and the importance of recycling, reusing and reducing waste material.<br />
A green consumer is someone who is very concerned about the environment and,<br />
therefore, only purchases products that are environmentally-friendly. Products with little or<br />
no packaging, products made from<br />
natural ingredients and products that are<br />
made without causing pollution are all<br />
examples of eco-friendly products. The<br />
green consumer would be the type to<br />
drive a hybrid vehicle, buy products<br />
made from recycled materials.<br />
<strong>Roots</strong> <strong>School</strong> System - 22 Harley<br />
Street, Rawalpindi celebrated the day<br />
by organising a Paper Bag making<br />
activity with the primary level students.<br />
The objective of the activity to raise<br />
awareness about the recycling, and<br />
reusing used papers and other materials. <strong>Green</strong> Students actively participated in the<br />
activity and presented ply cards highlight the green practices.<br />
<strong>Roots</strong> <strong>School</strong> System - 48-A, Satellite Town, Rawalpindi organised a poster and art<br />
competitions for the students of grade two and three. The students displayed their art<br />
pieces at the <strong>Green</strong> Corner each mentioning the importance of trees and recycling.<br />

Students of <strong>Roots</strong> <strong>School</strong> System branches across North region are benefiting<br />
substantially in terms of enhancing their comprehension and vocabulary skills by<br />
participating in the Spellathon.<br />
Designed to take a student on a developmental voyage of scientific discovery the booklets<br />
ease a child into understanding various segments of the environment and make them<br />
realise their individual roles to mitigate impact on the earth. Most of the booklets focus aim<br />
to explain that environments are integrated, overlapping and co-dependent.<br />
The booklets were disseminated amongst the registered students of grade one to nine<br />
who then prepare for a spelling competition while at the same time learning about the<br />
environment. The test will be conducted in September. Non - <strong>Green</strong> students can enrol for<br />
the Spellathon while <strong>Green</strong> Students participate free of cost.<br />
Waste Free Lunch<br />
<strong>Roots</strong> <strong>School</strong> System has been observing ‘Waste Free Lunch’ every Tuesday. The<br />
students bring their lunch in reusable boxes, items which they are required to take back<br />
home, wash and reuse. The idea is to discourage the use of the polythene and paper<br />
bags, reducing waste and using products with minimal packaging. This activity not only<br />
aimed at educating students, but is also very effective in sending a message to parents<br />
regarding using items with less packaging material.<br />
