The Gladwrap Challenge


Our class has carried out a survey to find out how many students use gladwrap in their lunches. A huge majority do. A small minority use alternatives like small reusable plastic containers and lunch roll paper instead.
Gladwrap is a huge problem at school. It makes up a lot of of rubbish, especially the rubbish that ends up flying around in our grounds. We know a lot of it finds its way into the paddocks of the farm next door. This must be a concern for Mr Mason as it is possible his cows may eat it.
Gladwrap takes a long time to break down- 1000 years. We really want to influence people to use alternatives. This is our challenge to everyone at school. In two weeks time we will do another survey to see if we have made a difference.
Please help us to achieve our goal.
