Eco Trip

Our Eco Committee pupils in Years 3-8 paid a visit to Carymoor Environmental Centre near Castle Cary this week, where they discussed sustainability and the importance of reducing, reusing and recycling. They also explored the waste transfer station where Somerset’s waste is first taken and heard about the recent fire (which is thought to have been caused by a spark from a battery) which caused £630,000 of damage. The moral of the story is recycle your batteries; don’t put them in the bin! Many thanks to Mr Coverdale and all at Carymoor Environmental Trust for a great day of hands-on learning.
