Reduce!

We reduce our energy and water use by turning off!

The LIGHT BRIGADE monitors who switched off and who’s switched on!

We are trying to reduce paper waste by writing on both sides, printing less

and photocopying double-sided.

We write a message on a board rather than sending lots of Christmas cards.

The money we save for not buying cards goes to charity.

Reuse!

We try to reuse many things.

Ink cartridges canbe filled andused again.

Old car tyres…

…make brilliant flower pots.

We refill and reuse washing-up-liquid bottles, washing powder containers

and drinking bottles.

Recycle!We recycle:

• paper• cardboard• glass• cans & tins• batteries• printer cartridges• textiles• old mobile phones

We make our owncompost and growvegetables for our

meals.

We all help empty the recycling containers

regularly.

…And we are having fun making things out of recyclables and selling them to

raise money!

• Old bottles make birdfeeders.• Crisp packets make keyrings.• Socks make puppets.• Jars make pen holders.• Adverts make envelopes.• CDs make photo frames. …and many

more.

It’s taken 5 years…

…lots of people…lots of good ideas…some fundraising

…building contacts and links…keen pupils and staff

…commitment and enthusiasm…

…and there is still lots more to be done!
