The environmental committee participated in a day out with KESAB, to further develop our knowledge around recycling and more importantly gain ideas about how to improve Kildare’s sustainability and waste management.
The group took a guided tour with Wendy from KESAB around various landfill and recycling centres. It was really interesting to see firsthand the methods used to recycled household rubbish and items into reusable objects.
On our return to The Parks Recreation Centre, Wendy helped better educate us about what should go into the various waste and recycle bins; it was very interesting to learn how easy it can be to recycle our household and school waste properly.
As a bit of fun, we all participated in a recycling relay to test our understanding of what we had learned about recycling and waste management. Overall, the day was a huge success and very informative; the students gained insight about what happens behind the scenes in the recycling process. This definitely helped educate everyone about how we can improve our school environment and consider the sustainability of resources.
