Recycling the following things with school can raise
Some serious Money for Green Council
Projects.
No we haven’t gone crazy! These things will raise money for the Green Council
Take tooth brushes and toothpaste tubes for example.
Most of you will use at least 8 of these a year!
In most homes there are at least 3 people.
So that’s 24 per family.
We have over 550 families in this school.
So that would be 13,200 per year.
School gets 2p per brush or tube.This would make £264 .EASY!
Take any McVities biscuit wrappers.
Most families have at least 1 packet a week.
There are 52 weeks in a year
We have over 550 families in this school.
So that would be 28600 per year.
School gets 2p per brush or tube.This would make £572 .EASY!
It is the same for each of these other pieces of waste.
Our target
is 10,000 units!

Green Council would like to achieve this year. For more information on how we are going to do these things,
