Pupils and staff from Alloa Academy came along to take us through a Plastics and Recycling workshop this morning.

We were stunned by some of the facts we heard today regarding the amount of pollution in our oceans. We matched rubbish items to the length of time it would take for these items to degrade and learned that it takes 400 years for a plastic bottle to degrade fully.

We have been inspired by what we learned today. Watch this space to see how we are planning to do our bit to help!
