Mini climate warriors at De Vere School help reduce plastic use
The brilliant Eco Club at De Vere Primary School in Castle Hedingham is helping families to cut down on plastic waste with a monthly refill station.
Now when parents and carers collect their kids, they can also pick up a range of household products like fabric conditioner, hand soap and washing up liquid from the de VeRefill Station.
Run by the keen green pupils, the shop has already proved a hit and sold almost £170 worth of products since its launch in February. Together with the other schools across Essex taking part, the refill stations have saved a total of 1000 singe use plastic bottles from being bought!
As well as helping the school community to cut down on single use plastics, the project is a Pupils Profit Initiative, helping with arithmetic and business skills.
The refill station will be selling at de Vere’s Summer Fayre on Friday 21 June, giving anyone who hasn’t already checked it out the ideal opportunity to fill up!
