End Plastic PollutionThe Place
Stanton Bridge Primary School in Coventry, EnglandThe Project
Students from the ages of 3 to 11 at Stanton Bridge Primary School participated in activities on World Environment Day that focussed on the impact of plastic pollution on our planet.- Students and staff recycled a school’s worth of plastics together.
- Younger students read books about plastic pollution and played games to practice sorting plastics and non-plastics.
- Older students wrote a series of letters and persuasive essays to incite action within their community and their country; letters went to individuals ranging from the head of the local recycling facility to the Prime Minister of England.
- Students of all ages made posters to show how much they care about ending plastic pollution.
