Pat from NI Water spoke to the ECO Committee about single use plastic, and why it is important we reduce the amount we use. Pat told us that only 50% of single use plastic bottles get recycled, and the rest either end up in landfill or in the worlds oceans. He also explained the danger it has to sea life. NI Water has given us a reusable water bottle for every child in the school. These will be given out after Christmas. Everyone will be able to refill their water bottles in school.
Our Eco Committee spent an enjoyable afternoon making Christmas Decorations from single use plastic bottles. Hazel from the Millennium Court Arts centre in Portadown came to help us make our decorations. The decorations are on display in the Millennium Court as part of their MANMADE Fantastic Plastic Christmas Tree. Call in and have a look.
