This article is about the amount of single-use plastic bags we use every time we go shopping. A case study was carried out at a fruit and veg shop and the owner was questioned about the matter, together with some regular costumers. It is shocking to learn how many plastic bags one person can use during a single shopping trip! An alternative was pointed out for us to use instead of single-use plastic bags, mesh bags. This type of bag is reusable, washable and has holes to allow the fruit and veg to breathe while stored in the fridge. This would be a great way to help the environment with a simple change in our every day habits.

Students used recycable trash and collaborated with their families, class teacher and the Senior Leadership Team to use trash recycables to tie up bunches of broad beans from the School Garden which they sowed, watered, weeded, hand-picked, weighed and packed in class. They also sold the produce to the teaching staff. The students turned the recycables into models: a train station with train carrages, a vessel, vases, personalised cards,and other models. https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=510857196606098 Link to watch video on school facebook.
