Today, our school came together to address one of the most pressing environmental issues of our time: plastic pollution. During the assembly, we watched an eye-opening video showing how single-use plastics are harming animals and the planet. Marine life like turtles and fish often mistake plastic for food, leading to injuries, starvation, and even death. On land, animals get entangled or poisoned by discarded plastics, while microplastics are polluting our soil and water, affecting ecosystems and our own health.
We also explored the Plastic Clever Schools resources site, which gave us practical ideas and inspiration for reducing plastic waste. Together, we committed to becoming a Plastic Clever School! This means reducing single-use plastics in our classrooms and canteens, finding eco-friendly alternatives, and encouraging everyone to reuse and recycle. By making small but impactful changes, we’re taking a stand for a cleaner, healthier planet.
