Single-Use Plastics,Primary Schools,IMELC

(Reuters) - Magic, a U.S. startup developing artificial-intelligence models to write software, is in talks to raise over $200 million in a funding round valuing it at $1.5 billion, just several months after its last capital raise, three sources told Reuters.

A SUSTAINABILITY programme is spurring decision-makers at primary schools in Johor to introduce plastic-free policies to teach pupils the importance of taking care of the environment.

Lim said her school in Pontian had also received support from its canteen operator, who has stopped using single-use plastic cups and straws. Its sustainability coordinator Suhaifi Saad said the school was actively participating in activities such as beach cleaning to pick up litter, especially single-use plastic bottles found along the shore, with non-governmental organisations.

Suhaifi said the IMELC boot camp also gave his school an opportunity to network with other schools and pupils to improve sustainability at their respective localities.
