Aberaman Pupils Go Green
January 26, 2009 « Previous Page — Next Page »
Rhys Cycle met some of the schoolchildren of Blaengwawr Primary who are trying to crack down on people using plastic bags in their community.
Rhondda Cynon Taf Council’s recycling champion mascot had a very warm welcome from all the children at the Cynon Valley school who have plenty of “green schemes” ongoing in the school to keep them occupied with environmental issues.
They recently held a local survey on how many plastic carrier each family used every week. Their results showed that the average household used five to six plastic carrier bags a week and they tried to warn people of the impact they can have on the environment.
It was just one of many visits Rhys makes every week to primary, infant schools and nurseries as well as regular guest appearances in various functions from fun days to rugby matches.
Joined by members of the Council’s Streetcare Awareness Team, Rhys makes sure every child he meets realizes how important it is to recycle and encourage more people to get involved.
