STUDENTS IN CLIMATE CHANGE By Rohini Tandon

STUDENTS IN CLIMATE CHANGE

Students at SNEH International School actively participated in a series of activities undertaken as a part of an international project initiated by Greece for the changes and effects of climate change for the students and the education ‘Climate Action Now - We Can’t Wait’.

Students made pollution detectors which were placed at different locations such as near a park, inside their rooms and along a roadside, and they were terrified to observe the high levels of pollution in our city during winter.

They also made collages suggesting solutions to cope with the extreme weather conditions faced by Delhites due to Global Warming resulting in heat and cold waves to flood situations during monsoon and rising AQI levels across 600 leading to pollution break. This activity alarmed everyone with the current scenario and encouraged all to be future-ready.

To create awareness about increasing pollution levels in Delhi during winter and the problem of Smog that people face every year students made posters. Students also surveyed the health issues faced by elderly people due to pollution and how they cope with the same. The elderly guided students on how can they maintain good health using simple tips and kitchen spices. All the information gathered was displayed in the form of posters and collages.

On Earth Day, the Principal Ms Komal flagged off the rally organised by the students. They marched in the neighborhood raising slogans and placards creating awareness about climate change, urging reducing carbon footprints, and enforcing sustainable development. Students from the Eco Club made beautiful placards using recycled paper made in the school itself. They also wrote essays and articles on issues related to Climate Change like sustainable development, reducing carbon footprints, alternatives to single-use plastic, etc.

They distributed pamphlets to the public about climate change. A special assembly was conducted where a student recited a beautiful poem about planet vs plastic focussing on the ill effects of plastic on our mother earth and how it is becoming a major cause of concern for the entire world. Students of the primary wing presented a beautiful street play creating awareness about water conservation and the urgency to conserve it.

Air Pollution and the Effects on Students and Teachers

It is very important to see the changes from climate change in education. In the first part of the project we study the effect on air. The results in education are very important because students are greatly affected by the change of fresh air. Clean air affects the breathing and physical endurance of students and teachers. When the air is not clean, the students' physical endurance changes. They do not have the same stamina to participate in school work and activities such as technology, gymnastics and school trips. The school environment is important to be clean. Teachers are also under constant stress about the educational activity and are just as easily influenced. Many times we ask professors and teachers to have more endurance than they can have. This is because they have many problems to deal with related to the natural environment. This is more easily seen in schools located in the city. There the air is not clean and diseases and physical condition are less. Similar things happen with the students. Children from the city get diseases much more easily than children from the city. Diseases and epidemics are more prevalent in city schools. Diseases are more common in urban areas and polluted air helps to spread germs and respiratory diseases. Such problems are associated with humidity, polluted air, exhaust gases and the large movement of cars from fuel. Also Industries and factories create problems in the air and these in turn create respiratory problems for young students and older professors and teachers. Common problems from polluted air are asthma, respiratory infection, indigestion and change in food consumption, while germs in polluted air and humidity multiply in a population with significant effects on students in their daily life and in their school life. . Thus performance in classes decreases and their health is constantly changing. These in relation to food which is not always made from fresh products can create problems in everyday life at school and in the family. So we conclude that the change in climate and the change in the purity of the air we breathe creates a long-term problem in education and affects the way students learn and participate in education. Let's remember for this the covid pandemic that created very important problems in education. We must therefore attach great importance to the purity of the air and take care of its quality.
