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!)
