As a member of the Eco Schools network, the 2nd Primary School of Nea Erythraia is dedicated to promoting environmental sustainability. During the European Week of Waste Reduction, students will take part in activities to reduce waste at school.

Although the school has recycling bins for plastics, lamps, electrical waste, cooking oil, toners, batteries, paper, and organic waste, they are not always used correctly. To improve this, students will design posters to encourage proper recycling.

• The 4th-grade students will focus on raising awareness about food and oil recycling. They will run a campaign to encourage the proper use of the school’s compost bins and oil recycling bins.
• The 5th grade will join a pilot project by Scientix and Clarios using the Learning Scenario “Mission Voltra: From Battery Secrets to Sustainable Solutions.” This project highlights the importance of recycling batteries, especially large ones, and explores how circular economy practices can reduce the environmental impact of battery production and disposal.
• The 6th-grade students will lead a campaign to educate their peers and the wider school community about e-waste. They will also organize activities to promote e-waste recycling within the school. This initiative is part of the eTwinning project “Green Digital Citizen – Today, Tomorrow, Always.”

Additionally, all students will participate in school-wide cleaning activities to maintain a clean and waste-free environment.
