WEEE- our way of helping the environment

On thursday a man from WEEE came in to talk to us about different ways of helping the environment. he spoke mainly about the work thats being done to recycle reuse and reduce and how recycling materials such as fridges, microwaves etc. has really come on. He talked about how we could help recycle things such as batteries as they are easy to just throw in the bin in comparison to fridges for example. We all are guilty of throwing in the old batteries in the bin or in the drawer, never to be used again. he then gave us 10 battery bins to put around the school so that people can be aware of these and help recycle by putting their old batteries into it. he also showed us a bag representing the special olympics and for just two euro it would be helping your school and helping the special olympics. it was a great talk as i am on the green schools and it really showed me how small things actually do make a difference!! =]
