We are always thinking about ways to improve the envi ronment and to encourage all the pupils .to think about recycling, especially in the run-up to Christ mas.” Rethink Rubbish in Lancashire links with the national Rethink Rubbish campaign, which was launched in 2002 as the largest waste-awareness programme in the UK.
