Students at St Monica School, Bir­kirkara, have swapped disposable water bottles with 1,000 plastic flasks as part of the HSBC water conservation programme Catch the Drop campaign.

A water conservation sticker urge users to close taps and save wate was also supported by the programme.

Future plans for the school include water-saving press taps.

The HSBC programme is the largest national environmental and educational campaign and aims to forge a blueprint for progress on sustainability of water as a resource.

The campaign is inviting students, schools, and local coun­cils to submit proposals for water harvesting projects to be supported during the current scholastic year.
