<blockquote>When we went to Salbari for the first time, its campus was an eye sore. It was litter-infested. Toilets were dirty and classrooms a complete mess. After a workshop with them, when we visited again in three months, it was a changed site. Students had made a traffic club which would monitor traffic congestion on campus; dustbins lay at all possible places, steel cups replaced plastic cups. They had also set up a nature library full of environment related books from which the students would borrow, read and write back the moral of the story he/she read, to be awarded if chosen best — thus enhancing reading and comprehension.</blockquote>
<blockquote>The students had also transformed the nearby market area into a ‘Plastic Free Zone’. Since the school is close to the Manas National Park, the students also set up a bird watching club and formed fences to protect saplings they had planted in the school. They made a worm-compost pit in the school backyard, created a gardening cum fruits hub and conserved local fish.<ref name="esd">{{cite news|last1=Siddiqui Zaman|first1=Rana|title=Lessons painted in green|accessdate=24 February 2017|work=The Hindu|date=12 June 2013|url=http://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-national/lessons-painted-in-green/article4805484.ece|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170224211814/http://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-national/lessons-painted-in-green/article4805484.ece|via=ENVIS Centre, Ministry of Environment & Forest, Govt. of India|archivedate=24 February 2017|location=New Delhi}} [http://www.wwfenvis.nic.in/ViewGeneralLatestNews.aspx?format=Print&Id=1706 Alt URL] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211204093200/http://www.wwfenvis.nic.in/ViewGeneralLatestNews.aspx?format=Print&Id=1706 |date=2021-12-04 }}</ref></blockquote>
