On July 15 students, teachers and staff of Taktse School took part in a government-sponsored green initiative called “Ten Minutes to Greenery.” This is the fourth year of the initiative which encourages all the people of Sikkim to participate, taking 10 minutes out of their day to plant saplings. The goal was to plant 600,000 saplings in ten minutes. All of Taktse’s students and staff took part, digging holes, planting saplings, watering their future trees and becoming more environmentally conscious.
Ten Minutes to Greenery perfectly supplemented Taktse’s Environmental Science curriculum, which is specifically designed for Sikkim’s environment. It concentrates on hands-on experiential knowledge, with projects ranging from composting, to building butterfly gardens, to investigating the incredible diversity of insects found on our campus.
