Why Reduce, Reuse and Recycle at school?
The 3Rs form a central part of the ‘purchasing and waste’ doorway within the National Framework for Sustainable Schools. For schools approaching sustainability by working for an Eco-Schools award, work on the 3Rs will be essential, and there are close links with the Healthy Schools Programme.
Every Child Matters identifies ‘making a positive contribution’ as a key outcome in every child’s development. By working together to recycle and reduce waste, pupils know that they are contributing to the care of the local and global environments, as well as that of their school.
