Yes our next Waste Week campaign is being designed to
inspire young Scientists and Engineers. We have
launched a new suite of waste related resources to spark the
imagination of 4 to 14 year olds including our new activity Waste
Scientists

to schools that sign up - the packs include posters, stickers,
factsheets and much more. Make sure you sign up before they all
go!
Why take part in Waste Week
2013?
- Waste Week is a fantastic opportunity to get the whole
school learning about waste and thinking about how they can cut
down on the amount of waste they produce, as well as how they can
reduce the proportion that goes to landfill, by re-using, recycling
and composting
- The Waste Week campaign guide gives you all the
information you need to run Waste Week
- We will have a number of ways to involve parents and the
local community in your waste campaign - encourage your students to
make a waste saving pledge with their
family
- In addition to making learning fun for pupils, the Pod's
waste week activities fit in with many areas of the national
curriculum. In 2013 we will have a big focus on Science and
Engineering
- Taking part in Waste Week activities will also help your
application for an Eco-Schools award, whether you're just starting
out and ready for a bronze award or looking for a major project for
your Green Flag Application. Download the Eco-Schools award

- Schools that sign up early will be the first to receive
an invitation to join in with our new Science
initiative
- And finally, if all that wasn't enough - schools that
take part in the next campaign could win a
prize in the Waste Week draw.
