Empowering Students to Beat Plastic Pollution: SHADEF ARET Take Environmental Education to St. Brian High School
In a powerful drive to ignite environmental action among youth, SHADEF (Safe Space Development Foundation), in partnership with ARET Environmental Services, brought a compelling environmental outreach session to the classrooms of St. Brian High School this week. The visit was part of our ongoing mission to educate and empower the next generation in the urgent battle against plastic waste pollution.
With World Environment Day approaching and this year’s theme—“Beat Plastic Pollution”—resonating more than ever, the event couldn’t have come at a better time. Students were not only inspired—they were transformed into informed environmental advocates ready to make a difference.
Raising Awareness, Inspiring Action
The session was led by SHADEF’s passionate representatives, Miss Lucy Eyo and Miss Divine, who delivered eye-opening presentations that sparked curiosity and meaningful conversations. Through real-life examples, visuals, and engaging discussions, students explored:
- The life cycle of plastic waste
- How plastic affects marine life, human health, and the climate
- Daily habits that contribute to pollution
- Simple, actionable steps they can take to reduce plastic use
The students’ thoughtful questions and keen interest reminded everyone present why education is the cornerstone of environmental change.
The Power of Youth in Environmental Leadership
What stood out the most was the enthusiasm and readiness of the students to become part of the solution. Many shared their ideas on how to promote eco-friendly practices in their school and communities. Their passion reaffirmed our belief that young people are not just future leaders—they are today’s changemakers.
Planting Seeds for a Sustainable Future
At SHADEF, we believe that knowledge is power, and when shared effectively, it can spark transformation. When we inform young minds about the environmental crises we face, we don’t just teach—we plant seeds of hope, innovation, and resilience.
We are immensely grateful to St. Brian High School for their warm welcome, and we applaud Miss Lucy Eyo and Miss Divine for their outstanding effort in making this session impactful. Special thanks to ARET Environmental Services for their continued collaboration in shaping a cleaner, greener future.
Together, We Beat Plastic Pollution
This classroom visit is just one of many steps SHADEF is taking to build a generation of environmentally conscious citizens. As we continue to spread awareness and drive community-based solutions, we know the fight against plastic pollution is far from over—but with the energy and commitment we saw in those students, the future looks brighter than ever.
