Pupils from Trevelyan Middle School and Oldfield Primary School, led by 16-year-old Phoebe Ibison, got together under the guidance of Cllrs Donna Stimson and Wisdom Da Costa, to star in a video on Recycling in RBWM.
The project with the brainchild of 16-year-old Phoebe Ibison from The Marist School in Ascot who teamed up with RBWM Climate Panel Councillors Donna Stimson and Wisdom Da Costa, to help empower our young people to speak up and have their voice heard.
Phoebe said, “I am incredibly proud to have participated in producing the video. Recycling is key for the RBWM’s goal to reach carbon neutral by 2050, if not sooner. Educating both children and adults alike on what can go in each bin is important for tackling how much waste the community produces and ensuring that our children grow up to be environmentally-conscious adults.”
Cllr Wisdom Da Costa said, “I have been very proud to be able to support the work of Phoebe and pupils from Oldfield Primary school and Trevelyan Middle School by helping them present their story and their heart.”
“Recycling is a core strand in helping us reduce our carbon footprint and to stop overusing natural resources.”
