School kids rave about recycler the rapping robot
Archived press release
Date Published: 20/03/08
Back by popular demand ‘Recycler the rapping robot’ will next week be touring Buckinghamshire schools, teaching children the importance of recycling.
The production which is funded by Buckinghamshire County Council, will be visiting eight lucky primary schools as part of the Rethink Rubbish at School waste education programme. (Please see notes to editor for details on schools being visited).
Between 25th and 28th March, Recycler will bring recycling to life through his exciting, interactive educational show. The show is aimed at teaching pupils and teachers about the three Rs: reduce, reuse and recycle and yes, the robot really does do a rap! Recycler shows children what they can do to make a difference and gives examples of how they can put the three R’s into practice at home and school.
Councillor Martin Tett, Chairman of the Joint Waste Committee said, “Currently Buckinghamshire produces 270,000 tonnes of household waste a year, much of which could be recycled. Recycler is a fantastic resource to educate children about recycling in a fun and interactive way. It’s a great way for them to remember these important messages and take them home"
For more information please contact Anushka Desai, Communications Officer on 01296 387677.
