Talents and passion towards the environment or any other fields are honed in our school. Environmentally very active, the school has achieved a lot in terms of conservation under the responsible help and clear guidance of Anjum Ma'am. ■ Summary of the Hidden Eco-hero's activity: Mrs. Anjum Hasan, a Biology Teacher in our school has always believed in the mantra of 'Go green, help clean!'and a sustainable, litter free and a clean and green school. Her project, 'A Litter Free DPS Sharjah' is a campaign that she has pursued to instill among the students the fire of sustainability and the awareness of a litter free school. She has tirelessly worked for the same. Many of her individual efforts include the following campaigns. She has been participating in the 'Clean Up UAE' Campaign for the past 9 years and the 'Clean Up the World' Campaign since 2012 till date. Not only this, but the awareness about not littering is spread by her in the form of Lectures, exhibitions, presentations and clubs. Due to her remarkable efforts, she has achieved various outcomes. She introduced the Bokashi Bins in our school and thus found an efficient and useful way to dispose of food waste by composting it into manures for the organic garden. She is also the pioneer in introducing the Eco-Park in our School. This park includes everything-from old bottle, guitar and LCD monitor planters, to a fountain enclaved in an old Truck Tire shaped like a lotus, everything in the eco-park is best out of waste. She was also able to increase awareness among students through various innovative competitions such as Eco-Trendsetters whereby students painted green messages on old and waste T-shirts. She is an active supporter of the 'Zero Waste To Landfill by 2015' Such are the things which she has adopted for a truly sustainable school, community, emirate, nation and the entire world. Therefore I would encourage all to vote for this true hidden eco-hero as she is very well-deserving for such an award.

We offer educational training days that we call Training program. In these Training program, children who have already been trained in previous Training program, give speeches to a new group of children to teach them about the climate crisis and train them as 'Ambassadors for Environment'. Through group work and presentations the children are taught about environment protection and they also learn how to prepare and present these ideas to others in a confident and exciting way. As Ambassadors for Environment, these children then have the knowledge and tools to further educate their friends, schools and families about Environment protection. Children also learn how to organize a tree planting event and following an Training program can start their own tree planting activities. We have been organizing these Training programs statewide. We have set a target of 10K Ambassadors statewide till 2015. *Waste Management practices with the help of Indigenous knowledge- He has also initiated a waste management project with a purpose to get young people educated about reusing waste plastic bags in USN district.
