Waun Wen Primary School won the bronze award from the Swansea Sustainable Schools scheme for their commitment to environmental issues like energy and water consumption, waste reduction, and use of sustainable transportation. The school teaches students about the importance of the "5 Rs" - refuse, reduce, reuse, repair, and recycle. Students have been planting daffodil bulbs and vegetables in the school garden and learning that materials like plastics can take hundreds of years to decompose in landfills. The school encourages recycling of paper, plastics, batteries, uniforms, and food waste as part of their eco-friendly practices.Sfork final design proposal by Merry-Go-Round

This document proposes that children reuse disposable cutlery by planting seeds in forks, knives, and spoons to help the environment. It suggests that most families use plastic tableware for picnics but this harms the environment. The proposal is for children to write their names on stickers and paste them to forks containing seeds. As the seeds grow, the children will feel good about helping the earth and be rewarded with a harvest. Diagrams show designed "Sforks" - forks with seeds for strawberries, kiwis, oranges, and watermelons. Specifications outline the dimensions and materials for the Sforks and their packaging.IND-2012-84 SBS Sialka -A Green and Clean Environment

The intern group organized a food drive with Lutheran Settlement House to provide donations to over 50 senior citizens. They created flyers and emails to coworkers and collected $540 worth of cash and food donations. On the day of distribution, the interns bagged donations and played bingo with seniors. They exceeded their goal of $350 in donations and provided 55 seniors with food. The interns reflected that the experience showed the importance of giving back and making a difference in the community.Kiwanians Serve in Indonesia
