  1. Litter and Waste Minimisation in Schools Keep Wales Tidy Campaign Waste Awareness Wales www.eco-schools.org.uk www.wasteawarenesswales.org.uk

  2. Litter - Facts and figures • Litter has many forms • Affects the environmental quality of an area • Definition of Litter • “waste in the wrong place” • “always caused by people” • 90% concerned about littered pavements • £350,000,000 spent annually on street cleansing by local authorities

  3. Litter and the Law • Criminal offence (1990 Act) • Maximum £2,500 fine • Schools and colleges responsible • Standards and timescales • Fly-tipping carries a maximum fine of £20,000.

  4. Pro-Active Approach • Tackling Litter should not be a punishment! • Preaching tends to be counter-productive! • Litter – How much can be recycled? • Waste Prevention – “Did we really need that packaging?” Four Stages to reduce litter permanently: a) analyse the problem b) devise an action plan c) monitor success d) maintenance of action

  5. You are not alone! • Personal & Social Education curriculum 2000 • ESTYN inspection guidelines for ESD (Education for Sustainable Development) • Welsh Assembly Government ESD case studies booklet • Waste Awareness Wales • Healthy Schools Promotion • Local Authority Strategies • Sustainability Strategies • ISO 14001 • LBAPs (Local Biodiversity Action Plans)

  6. Litter Strategies:Project 1. Litter Surveys Paper plastic hazardous glass

  7. Points to consider • Responsibility for survey, timing • Sorting, weighing, identification of litterer • Analysis - spreadsheets, graphs, publication • Questionnaire - pupils/homes/local community • Lunchtime survey - compare with other times

  8. Integrate with curriculum requirements • Using maps, plans co-ordinates, symbols and keys • Identifying features of the local area • Describing the uses of land and buildings • Understanding how people affect the environment • Planning and carrying out investigations • Measuring and quantifying • Handling numbers, converting to graphical forms • Using spreadsheets • Working co-operatively

  9. Project 2. Investigations • Dangerous Litter • creative writing • poster design • dramatisation • strip cartoons • Dog Fouling • * planning, implementing and evaluating a campaign • * leaflet design, typography • * lifecycle of an (infectious) organism

  10. Project 3. Environmental Quality Survey • Explore the area • Discuss contributing factors • How to measure the chosen factors - sampling? • Prepare survey sheets • Gather equipment/carry out survey • Discuss results and methodology • Possibly draw up litter and waste policy

  11. Project 4: Get The Message Across! • Hold a themed week or topic on Litter * Write environmental poetry * Compose and perform a litter rap * Pupils write an article in the School’s newsletter or do a radio interview * Promote positive incentives e.g. merit points or cash for ideas to solve litter problems. Use assemblies for this.

  12. Project 5: Packaging • Survey packaging of a selection of commodities • Consider how much can be recycled/reused • Consider design and function issues with ‘Eco-friendliness’ of the packaging. • Set up a ‘design and build’ task e.g. an eco-friendly container for a drink, an egg etc.

  13. WasteBackground Information • Homes generate approx. 27m tonnes p.a. • About 85% is landfilled • New regulations for landfill management • higher costs • alternatives more attractive • pros and cons of incineration • BATNEEC option

  14. In Wales, every 90 minutes, we all produce enough waste to fill the local swimming pool – and it’s getting worse!

  15. Waste Strategies:Project 1. Investigate local waste disposal • Contact council for details of collection, number of refuse lorries, destination(s) • Lifespan of landfill - future plans • Calculate savings - waste per household; collection routes extended; fewer vehicle trips to site • Visit to household recycling site • Visit by refuse collection/recycling vehicle

  16. Project 2. Refuse Audit in School(Should not involve handling the rubbish) • Look into bins, ask caretaker, secretary, support staff • List common waste items • Discuss possibilities for reduction • composting • solar-powered calculators • re-chargeable batteries • refurbish or replace? (furniture, books etc) • ‘indirect waste’ (lights, doors, taps etc) • make jotters from used paper • ‘smart buying’ – less packaging

  17. Project 3. Crafts from Waste • Rag rugs • Papier mache • Paper making project • Plastic reuse - propagators, storage, jewellery, bird-scarers, etc. • Metal sculpture, other artwork • Making musical instruments from waste

  18. Project 4. Can Recycling • ALUPRO (Aluminium Packaging Recycling Organisation) Tel: 0845 722 7722 • SCRIB (Steel Can Recycling Industries Bureau) Tel: 01639 872626 • consider establishing a can recycling scheme • design/make a can crusher • storage issues • consider alternative drinks packaging • glass, plastic, waxed card, foil • invent own package and design the name and logo • campaign for reusable plastic cups

  19. Project 5. Paper Recycling • Contact your Waste Minimisation Officer for details of local schemes. • Establish paper reuse trays and recycling boxes throughout the school. • Find out who will collect the boxes and how often. • Is there a storage problem? • Count or weigh the amount you recycle

  20. Project 6. Practice the 3 R’sDevelop a school waste minimisation policy • Contribute to the National Waste Minimisation Strategy • Raise awareness of school’s contribution to landfill • Appreciate financial and environmental benefits of waste minimisation and recycling • Work with the local community • Use ‘Scrap Stores’ • ‘Buy Recycled’ where possible

  21. Some Possible Actions for your School • Consider electronic storage of files • Purchasing review - paper, lights, cleaning materials, hand dryers, water savers, etc • Campaign to reduce lunch packaging • Reuse containers for storage • Composting (especially fruit peel, garden waste) • Set up a recycling bank • Toy library • Photocopier training • Join the Eco-Schools Programme

  22. Cwtogi ar Sbwriel a Gwastraff yn yr Ysgolion Ymgyrch ‘Cadwch Gymru’n Daclus’ Cynllun ‘Craff am Wastraff’ www.eco-schools.org.uk www.wasteawarenesswales.org.uk

  23. Sbwriel - Rhai manylion • Mae sawl math o sbwriel • Effaith ar ansawdd amgylchedd yr ardal • Diffiniad o sbwriel • 'gwastraff yn y lle anghywir' • 'pobl sy'n lluchio sbwriel bob amser' • 90% yn poeni am sbwriel ar y palmant • Awdurdodau lleol yn gwario £350,000,000 ar lanhau strydoedd bob blwyddyn

  24. Lluchio sbwriel a'r gyfraith • Trosedd (Deddf 1990) • Dirwy fwyaf - £2,500 • Cyfrifoldeb ar ysgolion a cholegau • Safonau ac amserlenni • Dirwy fwyaf am adael sbwriel heb ganiatâd - £20,000.

  25. Dull rhagweithredol • Dylai mynd i'r afael â sbwriel ddim bod yn gosb! • Mae pregethu'n tueddu i fod yn wrthgynhyrchiol! • Sbwriel – Faint mae modd ei ailgylchu? • Atal gwastraff – “Oedd gwir angen y pecynnau yna arnon ni?” Pedwar cam at gael gwared ar sbwriel: a) dadansoddi'r broblem b) paratoi cynllun gweithredu c) cadw llygad ar y llwyddiant d) cynnal y gweithredu

  26. Dydych chi ddim ar eich pen eich hun! • Cwrícwlwm Addysg Bersonol a Chymdeithasol 2000 • Canllawiau arolygu ESTYN ym maes Addysg ar gyfer Datblygu Cynaladwy • Llyfryn Llywodraeth y Cynulliad am achosion penodol ym maes Addysg ar gyfer Datblygu Cynaladwy • Cynllun ‘Craff am Wastraff’ • Menter yr Ysgolion Iach • Strategaethau'r awdurdodau lleol • Strategaethau datblygu cynaladwy • ISO 14001 • Cynlluniau gweithredu lleol ar gyfer bioamrywiaeth

  27. Strategaethau atal sbwriel:Prosiect 1. Arolygon o sbwriel Papur plastig peryglus gwydr

  28. Pethau i'w hystyried • Cyfrifoldeb am yr arolwg - pryd i'w gynnal • Didoli a phwyso, nodi'r rhai sy'n lluchio • Dadansoddi - taenlenni, graffau, cyhoeddi • Holiadur - disgyblion/cartrefi/y gymuned • Arolwg amser cinio - cymharu ag adegau eraill

  29. Cyfuno â gofynion y cwrícwlwm • Defnyddio mapiau, cyfesurynnau, sumbolau ac eglurhadau • Adnabod nodweddion yr ardal • Disgrifio sut mae'r tir a'r adeiladau'n cael eu defnyddio • Deall sut mae pobl yn effeithio ar yr amgylchedd • Trefnu a chynnal ymchwiliadau • Mesur a meintioli • Trin a thrafod rhifau a'u dangos mewn graffau • Defnyddio taenlenni • Gweithio ar y cyd

  30. Prosiect 2. Ymchwilio • Sbwriel peryglus • ysgrifennu creadigol • llunio posteri • dramâu • cartwnau • Baw cŵn • * trefnu, cynnal a gwerthuso ymgyrch • * llunio taflenni, argraffwaith • * cylch bywyd bod byw (heintus)

  31. Prosiect 3. Arolwg o ansawdd yr amgylchedd • Dod i adnabod yr ardal. • Trafod yr elfennau perthnasol. • Sut mae mesur yr elfennau hynny - samplu? • Paratoi taflenni'r arolwg. • Casglu'r offer a chynnal yr arolwg. • Trafod y canlyniadau a'r dulliau. • O bosibl, llunio polisi sbwriel a gwastraff.

  32. Prosiect 4: Cyfleu'r neges! • Cynnal wythnos ac iddi sbwriel yn thema. * Barddoni am yr amgylchedd. * Llunio a pherfformio 'rap' am sbwriel. * Ysgrifennu darn ar gyfer cylchlythyr yr ysgol neu roi cyfweliad ar y radio. * Hyrwyddo anogaeth gadarnhaol megis pwyntiau teilyngdod neu arian am syniadau i ddatrys problemau sbwriel. Mae'n bosibl gwneud hyn yn ystod y cyfarfod boreol.

  33. Prosiect 5: Pecynnau • Arolwg o becynnau amryw nwyddau. • Ystyried faint y gellir ei ailgylchu/ailddefnyddio • Ystyried gwedd a diben y pecynnau ynghyd â'r ffordd maen nhw'n effeithio ar yr amgylchedd. • Gosod gorchwyl 'dylunio a gwneud' e.e. pecyn addas ar gyfer diod, wyau ac ati.

  34. GwastraffGwybodaeth gyffredinol • Mae cartrefi'n creu tua 27 miliwn o dunelli bob blwyddyn • Mae tua 85% yn cael ei gladdu • Rheoliadau newydd ar gyfer tomenni: • costau mwy • dulliau amgen • manteision ac anfanteision llosgi • Dewis ‘BATNEEC’

  35. Yng Nghymru, rydyn ni'n creu digon o wastraff bob awr a hanner i lenwi'r pwll nofio lleol - ac mae pethau'n mynd o ddrwg i waeth!

  36. Strategaethau gwastraff:Prosiect 1. Dulliau lleol o gael gwared ar wastraff • Cysylltu â'r cyngor i gael manylion y trefniadau casglu, nifer y cerbydau a'r teithiau ac ati. • Hyd oes safle claddu - cynlluniau ar gyfer y dyfodol • Pennu'r arbedion - gwastraff pob cartref; teithiau hwy i ddibenion casglu; llai o gerbydau'n teithio i'r domen. • Ymweld â safle amwynderau. • Ymweliad cerbyd casglu/ailgylchu sbwriel â'r ysgol.

  37. Prosiect 2. Archwilio sbwriel yr ysgol(Ddylech chi ddim trafod y sbwriel â'ch dwylo) • Edrych yn y biniau, gofyn i'r gofalwyr, yr ysgrifenyddes a'r staff cymorth. • Rhestru'r pethau mwyaf cyffredin ymysg y sbwriel. • Trafod y posibiliadau ynghylch cwtogi arno: • gwrteithio • cyfrifianellau ynni'r haul • batrïau mae modd eu hailwefru • adnewyddu neu newydd sbon? (celfi, llyfrau ac ati) • ‘gwastraff anunion’ (goleuadau, drysau, tapiau ac ati) • defnyddio hen bapur i godi nodiadau • ‘prynu craff’ – llai o becynnau

  38. Prosiect 3. Creu pethau o sbwriel • Matiau carpiau. • Mwydion papur. • Prosiect gwneud papur. • Ailddefnyddio plastig - fframiau prifiant, blychau cadw, gemwaith, bwganod brain ac ati. • Cerfluniau metel, celfweithiau eraill. • Gwneud offerynnau cerdd o sbwriel.

  39. Prosiect 4. Ailgylchu tuniau • ALUPRO (Aluminium Packaging Recycling Organisation) Ffôn: 0845 722 7722 • SCRIB (Steel Can Recycling Industries Bureau) Ffôn: 01639 872626 • ystyried sefydlu cynllun ailgylchu tuniau • llunio/gwneud teclyn gwasgu tuniau • materion cadw • ystyried pecynnau amgen ar gyfer diodydd • gwydr, plastig, cardbord wedi'i gwyro, papur arian • dyfeisio'ch pecyn eich hun a llunio'r enw a'r arwyddlun • ymgyrch ailddefnyddio cwpanau plastig

  40. Prosiect 5. Ailgylchu papur • Gofyn i swyddog arbed gwastraff eich bro am fanylion y cynlluniau lleol. • Sefydlu blychau ailddefnyddio ac ailgylchu papur ledled yr ysgol. • Pennu pwy fydd yn casglu'r blychau a pha mor aml. • Oes problem ynglŷn â chadw'r papur? • Cyfrif neu bwyso faint rydych chi'n ei ailgylchu

  41. Prosiect 6. Rhoi'r 3 A ar waithParatoi polisi arbed gwastraff i'r ysgol • Cyfrannu i Strategaeth Genedlaethol Arbed Gwastraff. • Codi ymwybyddiaeth o faint mae'r ysgol yn ei anfon i domenni sbwriel. • Gwerthfawrogi'r manteision ariannol ac amgylcheddol o arbed ac ailgylchu gwastraff. • Cydweithio â thrigolion y fro. • Defnyddio ‘Stondinau Sgrap’. • Prynu nwyddau eildro lle bo'n bosibl.

  42. Rhai camau posibl yn eich ysgol • Ystyried cadw ffeiliau ar ffurf electronig. • Adolygu arferion prynu - papur, goleuadau, deunyddiau glanhau, peiriannau sychu dwylo/arbed dŵr ac ati. • Ymgyrch i gwtogi ar ciniawau pecyn. • Ailddefnyddio pecynnau i ddibenion cadw. • Gwrteithio (yn arbennig croen ffrwythau a sbwriel yr ardd). • Sefydlu man ailgylchu. • Llyfrgell deganau. • Hyfforddiant ynghylch llungopïo. • Ymuno â Rhaglen yr Eco-Sgolion.
