EcoSpeak competition tackles blue bin recycling
The competition took place recently at the Burnavon, Cookstown, with P6 and P7 pupils from 22 primary schools across Mid Ulster taking part.
Issues raised by the pupils included the importance of recycling and the environmental benefits it brings, as well as the damage we cause to our planet by not recycling. There were lots of reminders on how each of us can be proactive towards recycling by using our blue bin correctly, along with some great ideas on how we can make recycling fun.
