After our recent talk to students at the Victoria Shanghai Academy about the impact of plastic waste, especially on the four species of sea turtle nesting on the Masarang-supported Tulap Beach Project, the students have become even more active environmental ambassadors.

Please Reduce, Reuse, Recycle and Recover whenever possible!

The Students have been learning about the choices that people make and how these choices impact various habitats. Ms. Watson spoke about the impact plastic has on our oceans, with special reference to the endangered sea turtles that the Masarang Foundation is trying to protect. Ms. Watson discussed ways that we can minimize the use of plastic in our daily lives. Since Ms. Watson’s talk, Year 2 students have become more aware about their daily choices and have begun taking action!
