April 22 saw senior school Aravali intently watching a TED talk on Bhutan as a carbon neutral, even carbon negative, state. After also watching a presentation on Earth Day and some of the initiatives carried out to conserve the environment, every class drew up its own pledge. I Pledge scrolls were drawn up that afternoon, constituted of every day activities that each child felt he or she could accomplish in practical terms. The pledges included those to switch lights and fans off when not required, minimize the use of showers and hose pipes, plant more trees and not leave appliances on stand by.
