Not so Fantastic Plastic Assembly!

14/3/2018

0 Comments

 
The Green-Schools' Committee and Fourth Class recently prepared and took part in a wonderful assembly, 'Not so Fantastic Plastic'. They  informed us all about plastic and how it is causing a huge pollution problem in the environment, especially in the ocean. Here are some very important facts about plastic:
  • The majority of plastics are not 100% biodegradable;
  • When plastic is in the sea, it will stay forever!
  • There are six Gyres in the oceans. These are huge currents of plastic waste swirling around forever;
  • Fish, whales, dolphins, seals, sea birds and fish are all at risk because of the plastic waste in the ocean;
  • Plastic is also making its way into the food chain. 
Our Green-Schools' Committee are expert problem solvers so here is what you can do to help:
  • Say "NO" to plastic;
  • Buy and use a reusable bottle;
  • Bring your own reusable bag when you go shopping;
  • Say "NO" to plastic straws;
  • Buy and use a reusable cup.
Join us in our campaign to raise awareness of plastic waste in our environment and do your part to help.

Remember:     "Global Citizenship. We're all in this together.
                          Global Citizenship. Planet earth forever."  

Here are some photos from our 'Not so Fantastic Plastic' assembly.
