In a bid to raise awareness on the issue of climate change and global warming, the Aga Khan Education Services, India organised Walkathon 2020 in association with Diamond Jubilee High School and Diamond Jubilee High School (Girls) in Mumbai. In the run-up to the event, students undertook a number of activities, including competitions, street plays and interviews, to raise awareness within and outside their school campus. The themes ranged from reuse/recycle and waste segregation, to saving water/saving electricity, to saying no to single-use plastic and tree plantation. The school also collected 21,000 multi-layered plastic packets and sent those for recycling.
