  3. Jamie What is Eco-schools? Eco-schools is a program that helps to educate children in schools about how they can help their school and benefit the environment. We enjoy taking part in Eco-schools as we are given the opportunity to: • Participate in various projects on waste, recycling, litter, energy and biodiversity. • Talk to our friends in assemblies. • Update the college website/send photos to local papers.

  4. Jamie What does our Eco-team do? Our Eco-team: • Empties the blue bins in the class rooms during PSHE. • We do litter picks around the school. • We collect and recycle old ink cartridges, mobile phones and textiles. • We help environmental charities, such as Camara to send computers to Africa.

  9. Laura Recycling paper – blue bins Recycling costs less - up to 80% of normal waste disposal costs. Recycling one tonne of paper saves 17 trees. In one tonne there is 1000 kilograms = 1176 litres. That means for every 69 litres of paper recycled - one tree is saved. Every week the Eco-team empties 54 blue bins. Each bin contains 50 litres. (54 bins x 50 litres = 2700 litres). This means 39 trees are saved every week. (2700 litres / 69 litres = 39 trees saved)
