TIMES NEWS NETWORK


Kolkata: Environmental crusaders Greenpeace, supported by The Times of India, will celebrate World Earth Day fest on May 1 at City Centre, Salt Lake

A host of activities has been planned for students by Greenpeace, which believes that children are the ones who would replenish our natural resources. The programme will begin with a painting workshop, where students are expected to paint a big scroll on the theme of the environment, under the able guidance of an artist. The painted scroll would form the backdrop when the bands perform later in the evening. 

Poster-making, photography and recycling are some of the other activities in the pipeline. In the ‘recycling’ section, students will be taught how to make paper bags from newspapers. 

Activists Ekta Kothari and Subhash Datta will address the students. Next up is a mesmerising musical evening with some of the hottest acts in town: Five Little Indians, Ibn Batuta O Tatar and Cassini’s Division. 

Some of the participating schools are La Martiniere For Girls, Birla High School, MP Birla School (Behala), Frank Anthony Public School, DPS Megacity, Ballygunge Shiksha Sadan, Salt Lake School and Calcutta international School. Participants are expected to be from classes V to XII.
