Resources for schools

Ocean Plastic Pollution

As part of our commitment to help tackle plastic pollution in our waterways, throughout the district and beyond, we have an informative presentation and accompanying games to help introduce the topic to your class. The resources will better help them understand both the positive and negative impact plastic has on our lives and on our environment. There are resources from our Environmental Services team available for both KS1 and KS2, as well as links to high-quality information around plastic pollution.
