The purpose is to reduce the footprint of the school because being sustainable aligns with NDP’s curriculum as a green school. The project will serve as an activity to help renew the certification as a green school. The project also encouraged students to make every effort not only to reduce use of plastic utensils in the dining hall but also to increase the use of reusable water bottles. Through this, environmental responsibility and education on waste reduction has increased amongst the student population.
