Eco Squad's first meeting of the year

On Friday 27th September Eco Squad members from the Manor Way site met to discuss what environmental issues we can focus on this year.

The first thing discussed was single-use plastic bottles; Eco Squad visited the Manor Way classrooms to do a spot-check and found over 40 single-use plastic water bottles being used in classrooms. We discussed the benefits of buying a reusable bottle made from more durable plastic that can be used for many many years.

ECO SQUAD WOULD LIKE EVERYONE TO CONSIDER BUYING A PROPER REUSABLE PLASTIC DRINKING BOTTLE FOR USE IN SCHOOL, INSTEAD OF BRINGING IN SINGLE-USE PLASTIC BOTTLES.





The next thing we discussed was litter in the local Plumstead area; we hope to do litter picks in the local area in the near future to help keep our community clean and tidy, so today we had a quick practice in the playground picking up leaves (before the rain came!)
