Green Council trip to IKEA and St Dents Eco Warriors

On Monday 30th March, Shirley Warren's Green Council drove to IKEA to talk about being eco friendly. Then we went to St Denys school to meet their Eco Warriors!

What we found out was amazing!  we learnt a lot about how IKEA saves the environment.  Katie, who was our tour guide, showed us around and told us her secret about this table in the picture.

Instead of using lots of wood, they used short planks of wood and made the rest with air.  This saved more trees in the rain forests.  Not only does it save the trees, it helps animals and their habitats.

After a delicious lunch at IKEA, we went to St Denys School and met their Eco Warriors, who showed us around their school and told us how they stay Eco friendly.  When we were in the kitchen they told us about the TetraPak recycling, which was for anyone in their community.

They would like to come to our school and see how we help the environment in our community.
