Eco Team mission with Water NI

13th Nov 2018

The Eco Team had a visit from Water NI. They told us about how, as our population grows, more and more people are using up limited resources. Therefore, it is important that we use our water wisely and do not waste it.

We also learnt about how plastic is damaging our environment and is harming wildlife and sea animals. 40% of the plastic used in the UK is single-use and therefore we agreed that it is important we try to reduce the amount of single use plastic bottles in our school.

Water NI have kindly donated water bottles that will help us as we will be introducing a new campaign to reduce the number of single use plastic bottles in school during the New Year, New You week.

We want to share the important message to:

-Refill water bottles from the tap

-Drink lots of water to keep your brain healthy

-Keep the sea clean

We hope that everyone will get on board and help us as we pledge to become a refill school!
