Don Bosco High School, Matunga The Green Schools Campaign is back! And so are the sessions and activities with the students! The theme for this edition of the Campaign is 'Green Alternatives' - looking for eco-friendly options or choices in our day-to-day lives. A lot of sessions with schools have already been completed and many more are to follow in the coming weeks.. For the students, obviously the best place to start implementing 'Green Alternatives' would be in the school itself. And so, the first session of the year mainly focuses on the Green Alternatives that can be introduced in the school. We look forward to an exciting year, interacting with a host of Changemakers from various schools in the city!
