Is this just a load of   rubbish?




   Recycling at St Pauls
Why do we need to recycle?
Why do we need to recycle?
              A “plastic soup” of waste has been
                 floating in the Pacific Ocean.
   Ewe! Who would want to eat plastic soup! I wouldn’t!
         It is growing at an alarming rate and now
covers an area twice the size of Texas. (Holly,Bianca and Paris Year 5 Blue)

The Dangers Of Plastic   by Holly, Bianca & Paris
The Dangers Of Plastic                                        by Holly, Bianca & Paris




      Plastic is the cause of 90% of all rubbish floating in the ocean.
   Plastic from as long as 50 years ago can still be found floating in our
                     oceans today. That is a very long time!
About one-fifth of the rubbish in our water is from ships and oil platforms.
               The rest of the rubbish comes from land!

Charles Moore, an American Oceanographer,
  when taking an alternate route home from a
  sailing trip discovered the ‘Great Pacific
  Garbage Patch’ (the Pacific Gyre)
It took him five days to sail through the
  floating rubbish.

Waste Audit, February 2009.
Waste Audit, February 2009.
At the beginning of this year our whole school sorted rubbish
after a day’s collection. A substantial percentage of the rubbish
was compostable or recyclable.

Since then, we have begun a process of recycling that we hope will eventually
  lead towards a waste-free school. We realise, that for our kindy students,
recycling could be quite confusing. So, we are requesting that parents , other
 students and teachers will reinforce how to recycle and the importance of
                                  recycling.
