Students across Chile have been actively engaging in environmental initiatives by utilizing recycled materials to enhance their surroundings.
At Colegio Pumahue Temuco, students were tasked with creating 'land art' pieces inspired by ancestral history, integrating art directly into the natural landscape. Meanwhile, at Colegio Pumahue Curauma, students collaborated to craft sculptures reminiscent of the iconic Moai heads of Easter Island for a school exhibition.
Other students have been focusing on supporting local wildlife. Families from Colegio Pumahue Peñalolen joined forces to construct feeding troughs from recycled materials to assist the area's fauna. Similarly, students at Colegio Pumahue Puerto Montt constructed a birdhouse to offer shelter to hummingbirds that frequent the water fountains on the school grounds.
Furthermore, students at Colegio Manquecura Ciudad del Este in Puente Alto demonstrated their commitment to sustainability by utilizing eco-bricks and recycled tires to establish medicinal gardens, showcasing innovative ways to repurpose materials for environmental conservation.
