We are now part of the Dragon Bags recycling scheme. The aim of the scheme is to help every school in Wales achieve their fundraising goals, as well as diverting textiles from landfill at the same time. ‘Daffi the Dragon’ is the company mascot and you can see him on the Dragon Bags drop box in the school hall. Our Eco warriors will be working hard to raise awareness of textile recycling and deciding on the best use of the funds raised by creating an action plan for the year ahead. The service pay £50 for one filled drop box. I’m sure together we can exceed this!
So what items are accepted …
Shirts / Trousers / Shorts / T-shirts / Jeans / Skirts / Jackets / Jumpers / Hoodies / Joggers / Bags / Belts & Ties / Boots, Shoes & Trainers / Gloves / Jewellery / Swimwear
Unfortunately the following items are not accepted…
Pyjamas / Slippers / Workwear / Ripped or Stained clothing / Bath Ropes / Printed Items / Uniforms
Once the drop box is full and loaded onto the Dragon Bags van the journey could take them to any corner of the world. Different items will end up in different climates. One thing all the clothes will have in common is that they will be going to a place where they will provide clothing to people who need it.
We thank you in advance for your support!
Eco Warriors Code
Eco warriors, here to help,
Can you save the trees and kelp?
Ocean floors are full of plastic
When it’s gone it’ll be fantastic!
Are you picking up your litter?
Reduce your use of glue and glitter!
Recycle as much as you can!
One world, one planet, one chance
Reuse all things to keep the balance!
Eco Warriors Mission Statement
We are here to save the environment, the world and our school. We are the Eco Warriors! We will strive for a cleaner school environment; use less electricity, plastic and paper; and have as many children walking to school as we can!
The school Eco Club is made up of pupils and staff. Two pupil members are elected from each class from Year 1 to Year 6. Every year we carry out an environmental survey of the school and create an action plan. We have proudly gained our Silver Award certificate.
We are now making headway towards our Green Flag.
Here are some posters our Eco Warriors have created to spread the message of what we want to achieve.
