Plastics - Identifying Current Situation

We split up into teams and decided on what each team would focus on.

Team 1 went to New World with our student teacher Mr Van Vroonhoven and tallied the amount of plastic bags they saw people walking out with.  They also how noted how many were using enviro friendly alternatives to plastic bags.

Team 2 emailed Room 14 as we knew they had conducted a survey on how much rubbish was being left around school.  We wanted to know what the rubbish they were collecting consisted of - was it mostly the dreaded plastic packaging???  Yes it was!

Team 3 designed and sent a survey home to parents asking them about their views on our nude food program at school, and also if they used alternatives to plastic bags when shopping.  We got lots of honest, responses.

Team 4 went around the school and took photos of problem areas where rubbish seems to accumulate, and took photos.  Sigh - we found lots of rubbish lying around, even outside our own room!

The last team researched for further information on plastic, what the little recycling numbers on the bottom of containers meant etc to share with the rest of the class.
