Celebrations and the Environment – Free Report Celebrations are occasions used to mark important events. During these events, many people would love to have fun and exchange pleasantries. In mist of celebrations and merrymaking, we tend to pollute the environment without consciously knowing it. Val’s day is around the corner, and it is characterized by lots of celebrations and merrymaking. Since it is a day of showing love, a lot of gifts would be given out as well. Val’s day is again characterized by the eating of chocolate. Chocolates are packaged in plastic wrappers or in boxes. When either of the two means of packaging are improperly disposed, it pollutes the environment. I foresee a massive change this year because due to Covid-19 a lot of restrictions have been put in place to help keep people at home. But indeed, in their houses we have no control of what people do with their time or the kind of materials they consume. A piece of advice would for each and every one of us to be environmentally conscious and concentrate on saving and preserving our environment. It is good to have fun and enjoy but inversely, it is also very good to let your actions affect the state of your environment. A good environment is one devoid of sickness, pollutions and climate change. So remember to keep that wrapper with you till you find bin to place it in it. Happy Val’s Day from Ghana. Green Cheers! |

Hello Justice,
this is your mentor WooJoo.
Thank you for sharing such an informative report!
I remember that some of our Ambassadors also mentioned about the pollution during celebration days in the previous reports.
Following Christmas and recent holidays, Valentine's Day is also a day which is celebrated worlwide.
Due to pandemic, this year people in here bought many gifts through online, which are wrapped with materials that are hard to recycle.
It is good that we have these celebrations, but hopefully more studies and improvents are done with packaging materials so that we can recycle them and produces less waste.
Happy late Valentine's Day from South Korea! :)
Regards,
WooJoo

Hello Justice!
It's your SJ mentor.
I hope you are doing well.
Thank you for writing a report on celebrations and environmental pollution.
In Korea, due to pandemic, it seems that a non-face-to-face culture of exchanging chocolates using online platforms rather than face-to-face meetings has now settled.
Packaging materials are now being abused in food and other products, resulting in a serious amount of waste.
Many policies and measures are being proposed to reduce packaging materials, and I hope to apply them to our lives as soon as possible.
Green cheers!
Sincerely,
SJ mentor.
