Streets covered in rubbish and dog dirt, endangered animals, shortages of energy and water, ravaged rainforests and a damaged ozone layer -these are some of the environmental problems on our planet.

Some of these problems are harder to sort out than others.

Children making small efforts, like turning off the tap when brushing their teeth, can make a huge difference to their local community, their town or city, and eventually to the world.

Our project tries to make our school a more pleasant place to be and reduce its impact on the environment.

Our first step was to creat an Eco-patrol. Groups of 4 pupils act as Eco-patrol during the break time ( they wear the Eco-patrol sign). They are in charge of recyclig during this time, picking up litter, etc (we are going to upload some pictures of our eco-patrollers)

We hope our project will have a possitive effect on school grounds and neighbouring communities.

We are trying to educate caring young citizens who think about their impact on the world.

Many children think that recycling a piece of paper is a waste of time. But if a school-full of people recycle their paper, tonnes of trees are saved from the chop and the rainforest and its wildlife are protected.
