Plastic Free School Status
Considering the impact single-use plastic has on our environment, JLT have taken action and have gained ‘Plastic Free School’ status! We support the charity ‘Surfers Against Sewage’ (https://www.sas.org.uk) and have made changes across school to help our environment. The JLT's work has included:
- Changing water bottles used across school from single-use plastic to durable re-useable bottles
- Challenging our supplier of milk cartons and the use of plastic straws
- Raising awareness of single-use plastic and its impact to a local MP during a school visit
- Working closely with our ‘Change Makers’ lunchtime club to organise and conduct litter picks around the school grounds
- Challenging families to creating a ‘single-use plastic free lunchbox’, encouraging swaps such as plastic food bags to re-useable containers
- Switching our use of milk cartons to re-usable plastic cups
