Did you know that all of the plastic produced since 1950 weighs the same as ONE BILLION elephants? We are P6/7C and we have been learning about plastic pollution in the ocean. We are worried about how we dispose of our toothbrushes in school.
We are P6/7C and we have been learning about plastic pollution in the ocean. We are worried about how we dispose of our toothbrushes in school.
We are going to be working with Childsmile to recycle our toothbrushes. We will be collecting toothbrushes from each class every term as well as toothbrushes (and other tooth brushing equipment) from home to make sure they are recycled.
We will be collecting
- Toothbrushes
- Electric toothbrush heads
- Outer packaging for toothbrushes
- Toothpaste packaging
- Empty toothpaste tubes
Please make sure that these items are thoroughly cleaned and brought to P6/7C where we will recycle them.
Thank you!
