In an initiative to promote environmental awareness among children, Markus Schlomski, Director of Operations and Board Member of WSW Energie & Wasser AG, and Sascha Grabowski, AWG Manager and ESW Operations Manager, recently participated in a symbolic handover of eco-friendly items at the Hottenstein Primary School on Wittener Street.

The distribution, which is part of a joint welcome aimed at teaching children as early as possible to avoid litter, saw over 4,600 water bottles, lunch boxes, and traffic reflectors handed out to primary schools this year. The schools where these items were distributed, however, are not explicitly mentioned in the provided search results.

Four children from the i-Doetzchen class accepted water bottles, lunch boxes, and traffic reflectors on behalf of all the students. The water bottles are intended to replace tetra packs and disposable bottles, while the lunch boxes are designed to reduce the use of butter paper or foil. The traffic reflectors can be attached to a school bag, ensuring that children can move safely in traffic.

Markus Schlomski stated that the children learn as early as possible to avoid litter through the joint welcome. Sascha Grabowski added that the children can more easily avoid unnecessary packaging in their daily lives with the provided lunch boxes and water bottles.

The ESW (Eigenbetrieb Straßenreinigung Wuppertal) is participating in this action this year, aiming to promote the avoidance of litter and unnecessary packaging in children's daily lives. The distribution of these items is not just a one-off event but is part of a larger action involving the Hottenstein Primary School.

The symbolic handover marked a significant step towards creating a more sustainable future for the children of Wuppertal. The initiative not only educates children about the importance of reducing waste but also provides them with practical tools to do so. The hope is that these early lessons will foster a lifelong commitment to environmental responsibility.
