Students of Gozo College San Law- renz Primary School will be reduc- ing the weight of their schoolbags by some 6,500 water bottles per year. The school has received a reverse osmosis filtration system as part of the HSBC Water Pro- gramme's Catch the Drop cam- paign. HSBC Water Programme – Catch the Drop campaign also distrib- uted re-usable water bottles to a number of students who can now stop carrying a disposable water bottle, generally weighing 500gm to 700gm. The distributed bottles are of the highest quality and are BPA (bisphenol A.) free, making them safe for children to re-use. They were distributed by HSBC Foundation for Education France Secretary General Séverine Cou- tel during her recent visit to Malta and Gozo. Séverine Coutel said: "The initia- tive helps students to carry lighter schoolbags as well as save them unnecessary expense of purchas- ing disposable water bottles. This will naturally lead to diminishing financial costs as well as the envi- ronmental cost. Disposable water bottles also use a lot of processed water so having a permanent wa- ter bottle reduces the overall rate of water consumption in the long run." During a ceremony held on the occasion, students presented special water-related songs and poems. Afterwards, the student council members showcased their exhibition of water-related art- work. Those present for the occa- sion included representatives from HSBC, the Ministry for Gozo, Eco- Gozo, Ekoskola, and San Lawrenz Local Council. Installed in the school kitchen, the reverse osmosis system will filter the incoming water from chlorine, silt, rust, and contami- nants such as nitrates, pesticides and other pollutants. The resulting potable water will be stored in an under-sink tank for distribution to students by means of a special tap. The extra waste water rejected by the system will be captured and utilised for the school's restrooms. The school officials calculated a total of approximately 6,500 bot- tles a year based on their students bringing disposable water bottles daily during a scholastic year. HSBC Water Programme - Catch the Drop campaign is beginning to leave its mark on the ecological footprint of Malta as well as on the young students whose imagination the initiative aims to capture.
