Orphir school's green cone and trees

We use our Green cone for food waste from the nursery and staff room. Pupils from p1-3 take the food and carry it out to the Green cone.

The Green cone works when we put food in and worms eat it then produce compost (waste).

We use our Green cone instead of shipping it off to get burned or sent to the dump, which will create less pollution and give us plant food. It is a good way to recycle because it stops fossil fuel being used to ship it across to get burned and gives food to the worms.

We also planted a small forest of ash, Holly, Hazel, hawthorn, Bird cherry, elder, dog rose, alder, Corsican pine and birch. We planted them to provide habitat for wild animals and birds. Trees breathe in carbon- dioxide and breathe out oxygen and are very eco-friendly.

Our Committee

Here is our Eco-Schools Committee. 

We are:

Tia, Mia, Aaron, Jamie and Sam (Back Row)

Joe, Travis, Charlotte, Owen and Magnus (Middle Row)

Reece and Marcus (Front Row)

We have found out that, at Orphir School, we already use recycled hand towels and toilet roll!  We are going to think of a new target for our action plan instead of this one.

We are also trying to think of a new name for our committee.  Does anyone have any suggestions?
