About this Act
At Beinan Elementary School in Taitung County, the "Waste Reduction Champions" project, aimed to educate students about environmental protection and waste management. Students explored their local neighborhoods to understand the garbage problem, discovering the significant impact of plastic waste through hands-on activities and games. They discussed ways to reduce plastic use, promoting the recycling of used plastic bags throughout the school and successfully providing collected bags to local businesses and community members.
Students documented their observations using tablets and learned about the effects of waste through games, videos, and illustrated books. They shared insights through presentations and collected reduction methods from teachers and families, engaging in group projects that involved creating recycling bins and eco-friendly toys. By tracking their waste collection, they strategized on promoting the reuse of recycling bags within their school community.
Throughout the project, students participated in discussions, asked questions, and provided feedback, enhancing their understanding of environmental issues. They promoted their initiatives during school assemblies and campus announcements, and successfully marketed eco-friendly toys to first graders. As they tackled challenges together, students built confidence in their problem-solving skills, fostering a culture of environmental responsibility at their school.
