Ditch the clingfilm
Now food shopping opportunities are limited, more and more of us are having to plan ahead better for meals and store more food. But before reaching for the clingfilm, it's worth remembering the impact is has on our environment. More than 1.2 billion metres of the stuff is used by households in Britain every year - enough to go around the world 30 times! It is hard to recycle and when it ends up in the sea is a deadly threat to fish. But there are lots of re-usable alternatives.
Information for schools
We have created a bank of resources for key stages 1 to key stage 4. These relate to waste and recycling, climate change and the BDR waste treatment facility
