Heol Goffa youngsters switched on to green technology
Youngsters at Llanelli's Heol Goffa School are switched on when it comes to green technology.
Every classroom has eco codes encouraging pupils to switch off lights, turn off taps and close doors in a bid to save energy and water.
An eco board showcasing their green work such as recycling, litter picks, waste management and vegetable growing is also displayed in the school.
Each class has a themed raised bed to which the pupils maintain based on smell, taste and touch.
Workshops on eco friendly projects are also held to educate children on the helping the environment.
For its commitment to sustainable development, the school has just been awarded their third Green Flag, under the Eco Schools programme. As part of the programme pupils must take key roles in decision making and participation in order to reduce the environmental impact of their school.
Executive board member for sustainability, Cllr Pam Palmer said: “The youngsters are doing a wonderful job and their enthusiasm is very welcoming.
“It’s very warming to see them taking action in their school to save scarce resources and protect their local environment."
