We Drew Up An Action Plan
The Green School Committee considered the findings of the Litter Survey
and decided on a Plan of Action to reduce the amount of rubbish that was being
put into the bins in Scoil San Treasa and that by so doing the amount of
rubbish going to the land-fill would be reduced by 50% by the end of June 2006
ie. One bin per week rather than the two which were
being filled each week up until now.
GOAL : To reduce the
number of bins filled for the
land-fill by 50% by the end of June 2006
A brainstorming session at school assembly in November generated targets
for the action plan. It was agreed
that the school would prioritise the goal of reducing the number of bins filled
for the land-fill by 50% by the end of June 2006 (i.e. one bin rather than two).
