As part of SI Penang’s commitment to promoting environmental sustainability the club set out to educate young people about environmental sustainable behaviours aiming to inspire them to be actively involved in the protection of oceans and the natural environment for their future. 

After consulting with multiple councillor’s offices and numerous follow-up phone calls the club approached Sri Mutiara Secondary Girls School, Penang and obtained permission from the Education Department to coordinate, liaise with teachers at the school to develop an environment sustainability awareness talk to 54 secondary year school girls.

The session focused on the importance of beach cleaning and responsible waste arrangement, highlighting the devastating effects of litter and plastic pollution on oceans and marine life. Club members developed the programme content, including presentation materials, lesson syllabus, and interactive games.

From the drawings done by some students after the talk, the students understood their role as environment/ocean ambassadors, concept of “Reduce, Reuse and Recycle”, and no litter and improper disposal in the oceans.
