Action on Plastic

Action on Plastic

THE ECO-GROUP AND HUMANITIES DEPARTMENT TAKE ACTION ON PLASTIC

The Eco-group recently collected surveys from the S1-S3 pupils and found that most plastic bottles purchased by the pupils were for fizzy and sugary drinks; the most popular being Coca-Cola.

To help reduce these sugary drink purchases, the Eco-group have worked together to produce a lesson to educate pupils on the health issues associated with sugary and fizzy drinks. The aim is for this strategy to, not only educate pupils about healthy diets, but also to help reduce the amount of plastic that must be recycled from the Academy classrooms each day.

The Eco-group are working on the principle that ‘REDUCE’ is better than ‘RECYCLE.’ 

The Humanities Department will deliver a 10-minute lesson during Social Subjects and BGE classes.

In future the Eco-group will be looking at ways to promote the use of refillable water bottles.
