Earth Day, by Mrs Grainger
Date: 24th Apr 2018 @ 12:15pm
On Sunday, it was Earth Day. It has been reported that plastic straws are going to be banned because there is too much plastic waste ending up in the sea. How are you reducing your plastic use in school and at home? For example; you might be reusing water bottles instead of throwing them away, using paper straws instead of plastic, using reusable plastic bags or bags for life or wrapping your packed lunch in tinfoil instead of clingfilm. We would love for you to let us know.
