23rd and 24th June, 2012
Since we had the World Environment Day (5th of June) following closely on the heels of the Shrusti lecture series, we decided to postpone our celebrations.
In this edition, we had a series of competitions aimed at children of all ages. The itinerary and a brief description of each event has been given below:
1. Poster Making
Upto Standard 5
Theme: Anything to do with the Environment
2. Segregate This!
Upto Std 7
Time Limit: 1 Minute
This was an event that sought to test the participants awareness of secondary segregation of waste. The participants were given a small write up on the description of each waste type: E Waste, Hazardous Waste, Wet Waste and Dry Waste. They were given a big pile of waste and asked to segregate its contents accurately.
Winners:
1st place: Chinmay
2nd place: Harivatsa P
3. Art in Chalk and Charcoal
Std 9 onward
Theme: Global warming
Participants were given sheets of both black and white chart-paper on which they were to draw with chalk and charcoal. Spent charcoal was sourced from the local dhobi, who has used its heat to iron clothes.
Winners weren't declared due to inadequate participation.
4. Best out of Waste
Up to Standard 8
This was a contest where a big pile of waste normally produced at households, such as plastic bottles, pieces of string etc. were provided along with some glue and participants were asked to craft something artistic out of this pile. The competition produced interesting looking robots and submarines!
Winners:
1st place: Aravinth Mahesh and Arjun Jagdish
2nd place: Harivatsa P and Aravind Sylvester
5. Quiz Prelims and finals
Up to Standard 12
This was a general quiz where a few rounds were dedicated for environment related questions.
Winners:
1st place: Anuradha Prakash and Nitya Satish
2nd place: Kailash Hariharan and Ashwin Jagdish
6. Documentary Screening
Documentary: The Inconvenient Truth
During the screening, an important lesson was learnt, and that was to always include subtitles with the movie. The documentary, with its staggering revelations, left many people astonished in light of the need for immediate action to stop global warming in its tracks.
