We had a very special visitor in Class 6 this afternoon to help us understand what happens to the things that we throw away – Lynn, from the Doncaster Council Waste and Recycling Education team. The children had prepared a list of questions to ask and Lynn showed us some very interesting slides and videos to explain what happens to the things we put in our waste and recycling bins. We learned some very interesting things during her visit. For example, did you know that only 3.5% of the things we throw away goes to landfill, and the things we put in our ‘general waste’ bins are repurposed and used to generate electricity? She even left us some gifts – made from recycled materials of course – to remind us how importand it is to ‘Reduce, Reuse, Recycle’.
Thanks for visiting Lynn!
