On the 3rd of march our eco-schools group took the initiative to pick up rubbish at the outside area of the schools. We started by putting on bright yellow vests and making our way down to the front side area of the school from the back exit then we moved our way up. We originally started with just 3 bags but we had to get more from the school as there was so much rubbish. It was really shocking to me how much rubbish there was around us especially considering that usually its just something we walk past. The majority of what we found was plastic throwaways but there was a surprising amount of glass. Overall we collected 6 full sorted bags of rubbish.
