I HAD BEEN TO A ANNUAL SPORTS MEET OF CAPITOL PUBLIC SCHOOL, ON 30TH OF OCTOBER 2010...
WHT CAPTURED MY ATTENTION WAS AS THE MEET WAS ABOUT TO CEASE, I NOTICED SOME CAPITOL SCHOOL BOYS PROPAGATING THE BAN ON PLASTICS N REQUESTING THE GATHERED AUDIENCE TO BUY THEIR CLOTH BAGS.
IT WAS INDEED A WELCOME CHANGE TO SEE THAT THE YOUNG ONES WERE SPREADING THE MESSAGE SAVING THE EARTH..
AND ONE OF THE TEACHERS ENCOURAGING THE STUDENTS TO PUT PLACARDS BEARING THE MESSAGE "DO NOT BE A LITTERBAG" OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
NOT FAR FROM THE CROWD, ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE FROM THIS SCENE WAS THE PLACE RESERVED FR THE NURSERY AND KINDERGARTEN, WHERE THE KIDS AFTR THEIR PERFORMANCE OF A SMALL DRILL WERE BEING OFFERED SNACKS IN PLASTIC COVERS (WHERE OF COURSE THE SNACKS WERE AGAIN JUNK - A BUN SMEARED WITH JAM AND MAAZAA)
IS IT SO VERY DIFFICULT TO PRACTICE WHAT U PREACH ? WHY DIDN'T THE ESTEEMED SCHOOL TAKE CARE OF THIS FACT AND FACTOR OF ITS TWIST IN THE TALE...?
WAS IT A EYE WASH TO MAKE THE CROWD FEEL THAT IT WAS JUST A PUBLICITY STUNT..? OR WAS IT TO SHOW THAT ITS STUDENTS WERE CONSCIOUS ENOUGH NOT TO NOTICE WHAT WAS HAPPENING ON THE OTHER SIDE?
