Nurture for Nature is an annual year-round environmental education programme driven and implemented by Tetra Pak in schools within Malaysia.
Our objectives for this programme are to:
- Strengthen awareness among schoolchildren on environmental conservation with a focus on recycling of beverage cartons.
- Engage schools in initiating recycling of beverage cartons.
- Help schools build a sustainable recycling system.
What we do is simple – our team visits selected schools to give recycling talks and assist in setting up sustainable recycling systems. We connect them to local area collectors, thus enabling the schools themselves to manage their own recycling system.
Our team uses interactive presentations, videos and Q&A sessions during the talk to actively engage the schoolchildren at the schools.
Our Nurture for Nature programme is currently in its 13th year and has reached over 880,000 students in the 7-12 age group in 13 states across 1,433 schools since 2012.
This year, we’re targeting to reach more than 30,000 schoolchildren in 100 schools across Peninsular Malaysia.
