“I am very proud, that my daughter was part of this wonderful project!”
“I can say I learned something about ‘Earth Hour’ & ‘Earth Day’ from my own students.”
“The Mall Management congratulates the students and they are welcome every time to organize such wonderful events here! Keep it up!”
“Wonderful initiative to raise awareness about environment, this exhibition did more to raise awareness than many government agencies do in a year!”
“We hope to see more schools follow this example! More students should take leadership in saving the environment!”
“It was wonderful to work on this project with my friends, we hope more students can participate in such projects in future.”

OUR GAIN!

We could put more charts here, to show replies of how many people will reuse plastic bags, how many will use cloth bags or how many will have bucket bath, and so on! They were all positive gains of course, and very important. 
Our Gain can be represented in graphs, but we feel the stories behind the number are much more important than the graphs and tables!
Most of the people we surveyed after the project also knew great deal about ‘Earth Hour’ and ‘Earth Day’, before project very few knew about them. 
Still instead of more charts and numbers, we wish to submit some responses here we got during survey after the project.

Graphs...

Above graphs show the improvement in the responses before and after the project!
The improvement can be clearly seen in the graphs! People are aware of the impact of their action on the earth! This realization has empowered them and empowered people can make a big difference to any thing they put their mind to!
