Plastic Free July
Take the pledge to make your July one without the use of single-use plastics. Just say no to these BIG 4: plastic bags, drink bottles, coffee cups and straws.
What is the Carbon Footprint of your lunchbox?
Year 4 investigated the environmental impact their food has on the environment. Breaking into their lunches, Year 4 had some surprising conclusions:
“The bread in my lunch is freshly made but the sugar is transported. The bread-maker was probably transported too. The wheat is transported by a tractor, which needs fuel. The wheat also needs fertilizer from a healthy animal...I didn’t think such a simple sandwich would take so much work and take so much from the world!” said Layla F.
“For just an apple it would have to be transported and someone would have to put a sticker on it,” said Jordan L.
“Obstacles are put in our way to see if what we want is worth fighting for.”-Anonymous
