Largest Piece of Handmade Recycled Paper

A good step was  taken  by   the students of Ryan International School towards recycling of waste paper and conservation of Natural Resources.The students have been diligently working towards the mission of the 'Green World'by reusing the waste product and transforming  it in to a utility product.
The 9th standard students of the School have every reason to cheer.They have rightfully carried out the message of the school's chairman to work towards sustainable development.The 9th standard students of Ryan International School displayed a handmade paper of an area of 1050.4 square feet - setting the new world record for the Largest piece of handmade recycled paper.
This eco friendly initiative of the students won them a world record and simultaneously they happened to break another world record in the same category.The previous world record for the Largest piece of handmade recycled  paper measured a paltry 675 square ft.
The art and craft teachers have guided the students all the way through to achieve the feat.As one of the teachers pointed out that as many as 146 students  participated in this mega project.The students were preparing themselves for the record event for over a month as they were accumalating  waste paper in a pit.Then they started adding resins and brown paper to it.To ward off the foul smell they added some potassium permanganate  to the mixture.On the day of the world record event they  made a chain  and spread the mixture with the help of a tray  under the open sky.To prevent external moisture like few drops of rain or fog the mixture was covered  with a thick large polythene sheet overnight.

An encouraging news for environmentalist and a strong message to the society and the world.The three Rs  to save the  Environment  reduce, reuse and recycle should be adopted  for the judicious use of natural resources.Environment conservation and Green initiative can help in maintaining the ecological diversity,balance and retain life forms in this planet.
The students of Ryan International School not only broke a world record but also clearly indicated their intentions  to safeguard nature was the need of the hour.
The largest Handmade Recycled Paper measured an area of 1050.4 square ft was set by the 9th standard students of Ryan International School at the School Campus in Ludhiana,Punjab,India on December 13,2010.
