The Alliance for Sustainability Education (ASEc) proudly announces the establishment of three sustainability clubs under the Plastic Footprint Reduction Project (PFRP). This milestone underscores ASEc’s commitment to equipping young people with the knowledge and skills to combat plastic waste and embrace sustainable living.
The clubs, launched at Richard Akwei Memorial Basic School, Amamomo 1&2 JHS, and John Wesley Methodist Basic School, serve as platforms for student-led environmental advocacy. Each club has seven elected leaders who actively drive initiatives to raise awareness, launch projects, and inspire their peers to adopt sustainable practices.
To support these efforts, ASEc has developed a manual for sustainability clubs, a practical guide for organizing campaigns, conducting waste segregation drives, promoting reusable alternatives, and engaging schools and communities in sustainability initiatives.
The manual builds on earlier PFRP activities, such as sensitization workshops, awareness campaigns, and leadership training, translating these experiences into actionable strategies to ensure the clubs operate effectively and sustainably.
Since their formation, the clubs have launched impactful activities, including awareness sessions and poster campaigns addressing plastic pollution. These efforts are already influencing not only school environments but also students’ homes and communities.
The manual enhances the clubs’ ability to set SMART goals, create effective action plans, and leverage teamwork to achieve meaningful results.
ASEc will continue to monitor and support the sustainability clubs while exploring ways to replicate this model in other schools. By scaling the initiative, ASEc aims to cultivate a broader culture of environmental stewardship and collective action against plastic waste.
