On Thursday, 16 of October, 2008, 32 scholars from Nathaniel Nyaluza Secondary school went to clean up one of the rivers near their school. A group of Grade 11 Geography students began an anti-littering campaign this year, a campaign that they hope will venture further into the minds of the wider community. The Rhodes University environmental awareness society, Green Revolution And Social Solutions (GRASS), provided the transport and cleaning equipment for the cleaning up of the river. All 32 scholars enjoyed the experience and many felt that more should be done to clean up their community. The clean up was cut short due to rain but a member of GRASS, Leigh Stadler, said that with the help of the scholars, they cleaned up more in two hours than they would have in a week. Many scholars expressed their new awareness towards the environment with one of the Drama students, Mawande, saying “that the responsibility of a clean environment begins with the individual”.
