Children in Wychavon have just one week left to get their paintbrushes and pencils out and show us how to reduce our waste.
All children and young people up to the age of 18, who are in full-time education and live in the district, are welcome to take part in Wychavon’s Schools Poster Competition. There are vouchers and goodies for all of the winners, which have been generously provided by local businesses and organisations.
In addition, the school of each first prize winner will receive £200, to be used in an environmental project.
This year’s competition is focusing on “Waste Prevention” – Reduce, Reuse and Recycle.
Wychavon District Council wants to encourage young people to care for the environment and waste prevention provides a practical way to make a positive difference.
Denise Ditchburn, Promotions & Monitoring Assistant, said: “We want children and young people to think about the impact we all have on the environment and to consider some practical ways we can make a difference. We are keen to find out how they would encourage others to Reduce, Reuse and Recycle.”
