World Environment Day 2025 – Fighting Plastic Pollution Together!

At the Koinonia Federation, we are celebrating World Environment Day 2025 today, Thursday 5th June! This year’s theme is “Beat Plastic Pollution,” and our students are excited to learn how they can help care for God’s creation by reducing plastic waste.

Across our schools, children are taking part in fun and meaningful activities. In assemblies, we are learning about the damage plastic causes to our oceans, animals, and even our own health. With a special visit from a member of the Young Climate Warriors organisation. They will be visiting our year 5 and 6 pupils for a special meet and greet too! It’s shocking to discover how long plastic takes to break down—and how much of it ends up in the sea. But we know that we can make a difference.

In classrooms, pupils are designing posters to raise awareness about plastic pollution. Some students are creating art using recycled materials, showing how rubbish can be turned into something beautiful. Others are making pledges to reduce single-use plastics by using reusable water bottles, lunchboxes, and shopping bags. Please read on to find out all of the wonderful activities taking place!

At the Koinonia Federation, we believe that even small changes can lead to big results. By working together, we can beat plastic pollution and protect the Earth we all share.

Let’s keep making a difference—not just today, but every day!
