Best Environmental Improvement 2019
We are delighted to announce the winner in the Best Environmental Improvement category.
Moorside High School
Moorside High School senior students decided they wanted to act on the global problem of plastic. They presented assemblies to school students, gave lectures to staff and met with school lunch providers. Single use plastic bottles will no longer be used in school. Cardboard cartons are now old at lunch time and a new Moorside refillable bottle has been created.
The other finalists were:
