This World Environment Day, the focus moved beyond awareness to everyday action through the **Personal Plastic Audit Challenge**. Students were encouraged to observe their daily plastic use, reduce single-use plastics, reflect on better habits, and continue those changes throughout the year. The initiative shows how small, consistent choices can turn sustainability from a once-a-year message into a daily practice.
