Grade 9-12: Celebrating the 70th Anniversary of the People’s Republic of China with Environmental Art

October 9, 2019

On October 1, 2019, people in China celebrated one of the most important moments of the year, the 70th birthday of the People’s Republic of China. The students at SHSID celebrated this special date in their own unique ways.

Eco Cap, one of the most characteristic clubs of SHSID, has been committed to raising environmental awareness and protection in our community. During this special time of year, they have been creating a piece of artwork using bottle caps as materials. At the beginning of the activity, Eco Cap called upon students to donate bottle caps they collected in their daily lives. Not only did they gather the materials needed for their artistic creation, but they also educated everyone in the process of this garbage collection by helping them develop the habit of separating caps from the bottle. If these household wastes are not properly disposed of, they can be extremely harmful to marine life, as the caps are not only produced in small quantities but are also difficult to degrade. This puts an enormous pressure on the Earth's environment. Surprisingly, in just one week, the club collected more than 800 caps, which will be recycled after the art exhibition.

On the 70th anniversary of the birth of China, students used the outline of our school's Longmen Building for the background of the art wall and used the red bottle caps to spell out the number "70". They sketched out a beautiful picture of SHSID to celebrate the national holiday. Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, China has been on the road to sustainable development, technological innovation and social progress. The country has never ignored environmental protection issues. Just as Shanghai has begun a system of garbage sorting, the people of the whole city silently contribute their own strength to create a better environment for the world.

Together, we guard the cleanliness and environmental culture of the city. As members of SHSID, the students are also doing their best to contribute to the community for the country and even to the beautiful future of the Earth.
