The 3D recycled Art: Endangered Species under Water and Plastic Pollution.
This is a project based learning to help our students develop the 21st Century skills: Creativity, Critical thinking, Communication and Collaboration also how to protect the lives on our planet, earth. Globally, 100,000 marine mammals die every year as a result of plastic pollution. This includes whales, dolphins, porpoises, seals and sea lions. 

There has been so many records of how plastic pollution affects the marine lives: A beached whale found in the Philippines on Saturday died with 88 pounds of plastic trash inside its body, an unusually large amount even by the grim standards of what is a common threat to marine wildlife. Seabirds are starving to death on the remote Lord Howe Island, a crew filming for the BBC One documentary Drowning in Plastic has revealed. Their stomachs were so full of plastic there was no room for food. Plastic pollution has killed half a million hermit crabs, study says… Kelsey Vlamis, BBC News (5 December 2019). From reports we gathered, if we continue dumping plastic in the sea at the present rate, measured by weight, there will be more plastic than fish by 2050. If we all can take action, we could help to preserve, protect, and restore the world’s oceans and aquatic resources. 
We are taking Climate action (SDG 13) towards protecting the underwater endangered species (SDG 14. Life below the water) by creating a recycled 3D artwork through STEAM to campaign against plastic pollution and encouraging everyone to reduce the use of plastic. The artwork is to call attention to pollution crisis in the oceans and how it affect the endangered species under water. The year 7 (Integrated and international) students and year 10 British students of CALEB BRITISH INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL, Lagos, Nigeria worked collaboratively to complete this project. We’re helping put the arts at the heart of education, inspiring our students to create and participate in high quality artistic experience (SDG 4)



You too can take action against PLASTIC POLLUTION by:
  • Recycle everything you can.
  • Use your own cutlery, food containers and Keep Cups when getting takeaway, rather than using disposable alternatives.
  • Participate in beach or community clean-ups.
  • Tell the waiter to ‘hold the straw’ when purchasing drinks.
