'Blue Nudge' is a unique
platform that motivates students to become more responsible towards the earth.
Under this Collective Responsibility Recycling
Drive, students will collect thousands of single layer and multi-layer plastic
bags and tetra pouches and give them to the Blue Nudge company, a subsidiary of
Blue Planet for recycling, thus preventing them from going to landfills and
contributing towards negativeenvironment and climate change.
In

helping its students in becoming 'Good and Smart' . He further added, the
Singapore model of teaching about sustainable development to students works on
the same concept as it encourages children to do their part first, rather than
depending on anybody else for protecting the earth and its environment.
On
the launch, Prof. Geeta Kingdon, President and MD, CMS, said, Environmental education
is an important part of CMS curriculum which aims at making its students world
citizens, conscious and aware of the affairs of the world and capable of
finding solutions to various global problems. We have solar panels installed at
many CMS campuses to save electricity and rainwater harvesting systems have
also been put up wherever possible. Every year, CMS students carry out marches
to motivate the masses to celebrate cracker-free Diwali to lessen the air and
noise pollution. The association with Blue Planet is another opportunity for
CMS to make its students agents of profound social change."
CMS
Founder-Manager, Dr. Jagdish Gandhi said that CMS students' involvement in this
programme will help them understand the importance of their efforts in saving
the environment and reaffirm their commitment to work for the betterment of
humanity.
Under this initiative,
Blue Planet is launching its pilot project from five districts of Uttar Pradesh
where it intends to nudge one lakh families and collect two crore empty milk
pouches and prevent them from going to landfills.

Planet's mission is to incorporate sustainability learning opportunities in
students' daily life and make them active participants in the environment
protection.
