The integration of different subject disciplines in the project on minimizing plastic littering at Naggalama SS involves a
multidisciplinary approach. Various subjects and disciplines that are directly or indirectly involved include:

Environmental Science: Direct involvement in understanding the impact of plastic pollution, designing recycling programs, and
assessing environmental consequences.

Biology: Studying the effects of plastic on ecosystems, wildlife, and biodiversity.

Chemistry: Understanding the chemical properties of plastics and the processes involved in recycling.
Geography: Examining the geographical spread of plastic pollution, its causes, and consequences on local and global scales.

Economics: Analyzing the cost-effectiveness of recycling programs and the potential economic benefits to the community.

Education and Communication: Developing and implementing educational campaigns involve principles of communication and
educational psychology.

Logistics and Supply Chain Management: Managing the collection, transportation, and processing of recycled materials.

Social Studies: Understanding the social impact of plastic pollution on communities and exploring solutions with social relevance.

Mathematics: Analyzing data related to plastic usage, recycling rates, and project outcomes.

Technology and Engineering: Implementing technological solutions for efficient recycling and waste management.

The integration of these disciplines enriches the project by providing a holistic perspective and addressing various aspects of the
plastic pollution issue. It also offers students a well-rounded educational experience that goes beyond the boundaries of individual
subjects.
