The Eco-Schools objectives in this area are:
 |
for pupils and teachers to understand that by reducing, reusing and recycling their waste they are contributing to the National Waste Plan: Scotland |
|
to raise awareness of what schools can do to prevent waste from going to landfill |
|
to reduce, reuse, recycle (the three R’s) waste whenever it is feasible and beneficial |
|
to appreciate the financial as well as the environmental benefits of waste prevention and recycling activities |
|
to work with the local community in raising awareness and facilitating waste prevention, reuse and recycling, whenever possible. |
Through work on waste prevention, reuse and recycling, pupils should be able to:
|
name a range of materials and where they come from |
|
discuss decomposition and nutrient transfer |
|
collect, interpret and present data in different forms, using ICT, where appropriate |
|
make presentations on strategies to reduce, reuse and recycle and prevent waste to different audiences, such as pupils, teachers and parents |
