We are aiming to give single-use plastic the boot with the Premier League Primary Stars Plastic Pollution Challenge . As a year group we are entering this competition. But , we need your help ! HTTPS://PLPRIMARYSTARS.COM/NEWS- AND-EVENTS/PLASTIC-CHALLENGE- LAUNCH
Imagine a world where 90% of seabirds eat at least a bit of plastic in their lifetimes, where sea mammals get tangled in plastic, where marine life dies because of mistaking plastic for food. We don’t have to imagine this. It is reality. This is what's happening…
Our school pledge is: Reduce the amount of plastic in our school lunch boxes. We will aim to not use cling film, zip lock bags or wrap any of our lunches in plastic wrappers. We will use reusable boxes instead. We will deliver assemblies to all other classes in the school to make them aware of our challenge and encourage them to do the same. We will take the measurements at the start of our pledge and at regular points to assess the reduction in plastic. We will place our pledge on our website, newsletter and also ask our teacher to participate in our pledge too.
We need YOU to help us on our journey to bring single use plastic to an end. You can help us by NOT bringing plastic cling film or zip lock bags. We have recently been on a litter pick. On our first trip, we collected 13 full bags of litter. 6 days later, we went on another one. Luckily, we only collected 11 bags. This is only 2 bags less, but this is an improvement.
You may see us in the hall collecting plastic cling film from your lunch boxes. We will be in our red buddy uniform wearing hats and bum bags. We will be taking pictures of how much plastic we have collected over the course of lunchtimes over the week.
Look out for our pledges on the Shamblehurst website! ANY QUESTIONS?
Remember, no single use plastic!
