Pupils meet Recycler the rapper robot
Recycler the rapping robot is touring Warwickshire this week to spread the word about recycling.
Between Monday and Thursday, 1 – 4 March, Recycler will be bringing recycling to life at local primary schools through his funky interactive show.
The show tells pupils and teachers all about the three Rs: reduce, reuse and recycle and will include a toe-tapping rap from Recycler.
Throughout the performance, Recycler shows children how they can reduce their waste, how they can recycle locally, and put the three Rs into practice at home and school, bringing to life the Warwickshire County Council message to reduce, reuse and recycle.
Shirley Barre, Education Officer, said: "Every household in the UK throws away over one tonne of waste each year and more than half of this could be recycled. A visit from Recycler is a great way for young people to learn about how important it is to reduce waste and to recycle as much as possible, at home and at school. Joining in with Recycler’s rap and watching the games, props and role-plays is a great way to remember important messages and take them home.”
The Recycler programme is being run by Waste Watch in partnership with Warwickshire County Council.
