School receives Green Flag for HSBC Water Programme participation
In a first for the HSBC Water Programme – Catch the Drop campaign, a participating school has been awarded the distinction of a ‘Green Flag’ by Nature Trust Malta. The Green Flag is the highest international distinction a school can receive to mark its commitment towards education for sustainable development.
San Anton School attained the prestigious rank after obtaining funding from the HSBC Water Programme – Catch the Drop campaign to implement an environmental project.
The EkoSkola group at San Anton School came up with the idea of reducing plastic waste by replacing disposable water bottles with refillable ones.
Besides eliminating a plastic bottle per day per student, the action led to a considerable reduction in the school’s carbon footprint as disposable plastic bottles use both a lot of energy and water when being manufactured and cause pollution when discarded.
