The focus for the month of April was on encouraging people to conserve water and the change their habits so they use less water. Students were told to turn off the tap while brushing teeth, fix leaks, install aerating faucets, low flow toilets and shorten shower times and collect rain water for plants. Students took turns watering plants at school. Radio Meraj produced clips on saving the environment, water usage and water pollution and its effect on public health.

AIL’s teachers and facilitators are teaching and informing students about pressing environmental concerns. Air and water pollution, sound pollution, climate change, weather and resource depletion are topics covered in this program. AIL wants every person, who is in contact with the organization, to receive information on the subject and to know how they can help by their actions and by passing on information to others.
A recent topic covered was the harmful effects of using coal for heating. In particular, coal is used to heat bathrooms in private homes but also public bathrooms creating a lot of pollution. Water pollution was discussed as many people do not have access to regular supplies of clean drinking water. Children drink contaminated water not understanding the dangers. Water borne disease was discussed and the dangers to the water supply of leaving garbage in open channels.

Environmental education

The COVID-19 pandemic is a crisis that has affected everyone as industries, transportation networks and schools and businesses have closed down. All of this sudden change has had some unexpected consequences. Pollution and greenhouse gas emissions have fallen across continents as countries implemented measures to contain the spread of the virus.
AIL has been teaching adults how to organize cleanups in their communities. Often adults talk about the environment and they have the right to give their opinion. In fact they are encouraged to go to school, municipality or even the government to update people about climate changes and present better ways of saving the environment.
Many children are not aware of the environment, its challenges and why it is important for them to take responsibility. We give online-training to children at our schools and learning centers to tell them about the issues of the environment. For example, children learn to turn off lights, fans etc when they are out of the room, not to waste water when brushing teeth.
