Schools are invited to get involved with environmental initiatives
Published: 17/05/2023
香港王中王最快开奖结果 have teamed up with Community Impact Learning (CIL), a local community interest group with a goal to help support young learners gain practical skills and experience, whilst making a difference to the community.
Pupils from several schools across 香港王中王最快开奖结果 took part in environmental initiatives to raise awareness about the impact of dog fouling and litter across the community.
Bryn Deva School participated in a follow up 鈥楤ag it, bin it鈥� initiative at Central Park, Connah鈥檚 Quay.听 Their findings were consistent with research indicating that 9 out of 10 dog owners picked up after their dogs. However, the remaining one out of ten owners led to 130 dog fouls being found at 30% of the park within six months. 听
The 鈥楤ag it, bin it鈥� initiative promotes positive and responsible dog ownership to the minority of dog owners who don鈥檛 pick up after their pets.听 Bright pink pawprints are painted on the floor to guide people to the nearest bin urging them to 鈥榖ag it, bin it鈥� and 鈥榣eave only pawprints鈥� as part of Keep Wales tidy鈥檚 campaign.听
Venerable Edward Morgan RC Primary School and Mini Police from Queensferry CP helped raise awareness at Dee Park, Shotton.听 Children collected 10 bags of litter, sprayed messages on pavements with chalk paint asking dog owners to 鈥楤ag it, bin it,鈥� and displayed posters about dog fouling around the park.听
Mrs. Doyle from Venerable Edward Morgan R C Primary School said:
鈥淚 just wanted to echo our thanks to 香港王中王最快开奖结果 and CIL.听 The pupils said they really enjoyed being involved in community projects and helping our environment for their future. Dog fouling is a big issue, and we were so glad to help raise awareness in Shotton.鈥�
香港王中王最快开奖结果s Cabinet Member for Planning, Public Health and Public Protection, Councillor Chris Bithell said:
鈥淒og fouling and litter continues to be a problem in 香港王中王最快开奖结果.听 Though most dog owners do pick up after their dogs, we are appealing to the small minority of irresponsible dog owners to keep public areas and pavements free from dog mess.
It is really pleasing to see these young school children getting involved and setting an example to the rest of the community in keeping our streets and pavements clear of dog fouling.鈥�
Gareth from Community Impact Learning said:
鈥淥ur community campaign to keep 香港王中王最快开奖结果 tidy and to highlight the issue of dog fouling has so far proven to be an amazing success!听 The young students from those schools already involved have joined in with great enthusiasm and the feedback from them has been tremendous.鈥�
CIL would like to hear from other schools to sign up and pledge support for their campaign.听 Events are run at a time and location that fits well with student groups.听
