Our school is very pro-active when it comes to the
whole area of litter prevention. Each year, usually in April, the
school organises a big litter clean-up operation. About 70 students
from the school are divided up into groups of five. They set out from
the Mayflower and collect rubbish along the roads around Drumshanbo on
selected routes. all rubbish collected is piled up at the Mayflower,
divided up into recyclable and non-recyclable materials and collected
by the local waste disposal company after the event.
The aims of the
rally include -
- Ridding the roads of Drumshanbo from litter
- Increasing the environmental awareness of young and old people
- Educating people to avoid unnecessary litter and how to dispose
litter the right way
- Teaching what impact different sorts of litter have on the
environment.
