This document discusses the benefits of recycling and what items can be recycled. It notes that recycling is good for both the environment and humanity. Many everyday items like paper, glass, plastic, and aluminum can be recycled and placed in blue bins. These recycled materials can then be remade and resold, or turned into new useful objects like pencil holders, vases, or toys. By recycling, we can reuse materials repeatedly and help preserve the planet's resources while living in a healthier environment.
Eco schools
The Birchfields Eco Team attended a Town Hall Eco School Forum to speak with agencies about how they could help improve the school's environmental efforts. They are working with Holly to advise on improvements to the school pond and aim to earn a green flag award like other eco schools. The team collects around 11 to 15 bags of recycling such as paper, plastic, and cardboard every two weeks, totaling around 390 bags annually. They have recycling collections in classrooms and special bins around school. The school won a first prize in the Manchester in Bloom school category and are planting trees, painting murals, and working to reduce litter on the grounds. They recently earned a Bronze Energy Audit Award and aim to achieve Silver level next time with
