Plastic Fantastic

PLASTIC FANTASTIC ... if it is reused or recycled!

This week we will not be putting our plastic bottles in our school bins.

We found out that they are all going to landfill so we will put them back in our lunch boxes and reuse them or recycle them properly at home.

Plastic is a popular, useful material but we use a lot of it . However, by optimising the lifespan of plastics by reusing and recycling items as many times as possible, i.e. by recycling used plastic bottles into new ones, we can reduce our need to create 'new' plastic, thus:

Conserving non-renewable fossil fuels (oil)
Reducing the consumption of energy used
Reducing the amount of solid waste going to landfill
Reducing the emission of gases like carbon dioxide into the atmosphere
