As global leaders convene in Geneva to finalize a landmark agreement addressing the escalating crisis of plastic pollution, the Lions Club of George Town Mutiara (LCGTM) echoed this global call to action with a local initiative: an Environmental Education Talk titled “The Invisible Plastic.”
This impactful session reached 750 students across two schools in Penang, namely SJKC Shang Wu and SK St Xavier, reinforcing our belief that youth are the most powerful messengers for change.
We were honored to host Ms. Alicia Tan and her team from Zaneco Sdn.Bhd., who delivered a 45-minute interactive presentation in each school. The talk explored:
· What microplastics are and where they come from
· How they affect human health, marine life, and the environment
· Why awareness and action are urgently needed
The session was brought to life through engaging slides, videos, and real-life examples, sparking curiosity and lively participation. Students responded with enthusiasm, eagerly answering questions and demonstrating a strong interest in the topic. To reinforce the message, free eco-friendly samples were distributed to all participants.
PP May Cheah, Project Organizing Chairperson, reported that the event was a resounding success—achieving its goal of raising awareness and inspiring environmental responsibility among the next generation. Education is the first step toward transformation. When young minds understand, they lead the way.
