WOW idea:
Project Gold
The waste through 'litter' is one of our biggest problems.
Our school is a 'new build' school and is owned by a company called
Carillion and we rent the school from them during the day. We have to sell
our idea to Carillion, as a business, and the school. In short we want to
add a deposit to plastic bottles which students get back when they recycle
them, get Carillion to bring in a giant composter for their biodegradable
food containers and waste food and get the tutor groups within our six
houses to take on responsibilty for keeping key named areas free from
litter by using customised recycling bins ( eg a pink one for plastics
with the logo 'Pink IS the new green'. We have to 'sell' this idea to
Carillion and show them how it will save them money and help save the
environment and to the school community.
