We’re on a mission, and we need your help! In a drive to make something positive out of plastic waste, and to improve the aesthetic of our garden areas, we are embarking on a project to build a mural out of plastic bottle tops. And we need lots (thousands in fact!) of all colours and sizes. So please (even if they are a bit annoying now they’re attached to the bottles!) chop them off and save your plastic bottle tops, and bring them to school when you have enough to share. We’d love for all children to feel they’ve contributed. Bottle tops from milk bottles and soft drink bottles are perfect- the more colours the better.
