With the ribbon cutting, an inauguration was held at the De La Salle Institute in Benevento for a dispenser for the provision of filtered drinking water, directly connected to the water network, and made by S.T.E.I. (Solutions and Technologies for Eco-compatibility and Inclusion) which, thanks to the support of companies in the Sannita area, Russo aluminum, Sanav (liquid waste management), Geo-In srl, Metalplex and ThermoHabitat, also distributed aluminum water bottles to students, teachers and school staff to be used instead of plastic bottles whose use is to be, and above all, wants to be eliminated.
A significant moment, symbol of a transition towards a more sustainable and attentive society. A project that the De La Salle Institute has been pursuing for many years in its educational planning from kindergarten to secondary school.
The project 'The water that teaches thirst' carried out by Stei and the many virtuous entrepreneurs who have joined the initiative - stated the educational coordinator of the De La Salle institute, Professor Angela Meola - represents a fundamental piece for the construction of an educational path aimed at eco-sustainability, a path that the De La Salle Institute places at the center of its educational planning. It is essential that young people develop an appropriate sensitivity on issues of personal and community well-being and on the adoption of eco-compatible lifestyles through an education focused on sustainability. The dispenser also highlights for students the benefits of proper hydration, essential for their physical and mental well-being, concentration and cognitive abilities.
At the same time, the S.T.E.I. project - the teacher continues - stimulates a reflection on the use of water, on its availability in developing countries and on its waste, promoting a conscious attitude towards a precious asset and too often underestimated, especially by young people. The choice to install a green dispenser, in summary, reflects an educational and social commitment towards a more sustainable future that should be among the priority objectives of every school.
