As you know, Carleith Primary School has been collecting textiles through our Rag Bag Collection Scheme.  The leaders of this project are the children in the Eco Hub, they are responsible for phoning Rag Bag for collection, emailing them to request extra bags and for informing the rest of the school what Rag Bag is about.  
Thank you for your continued support with this scheme, if you require any additional bags please contact Mrs Inglis or ask your child to contact the Eco Hub.

The Rag Bag Scheme

Carleith Primary School are taking part in The 'Rag Bag' recycling scheme. This scheme has been developed to provide regular fundraising for schools and nurseries in Scotland.
The scheme increases awareness about textile recycling and by increasing recycling rates we can help the environment by ensuring less material goes to landfill.

We can accept the following items:
  •  Wearable Clothing
  •  Paired Shoes
  •  Handbags
  •  Belts

If you would like to recycle old clothes through our Rag Bag system, please ask your child for the 'Rag-Bag collection bags'.

The Eco-Schools Programme

Eco-Schools is an international initiative designed to  encourage whole-school community action on Learning for Sustainability.  It is an environmental management tool, a learning resource and a recognised award scheme which empowers children and young people to take action towards an economically, socially and environmentally just world.

The initiative provides a framework for learning and action which affords a wealth of  opportunities for linking sustainable development education, global citizenship and outdoor learning. Eco-Schools weaves these elements together through the everyday curricular work undertaken by schools and encourages closer links between schools and the communities around them.
  
The Eco-Schools Programme in Scotland

Keep Scotland Beautiful is the leading provider of sustainable development education initiatives in schools, encouraging action and behavioural change by young people which will leave an enduring legacy for Scotland; it is part of its work to help make Scotland clean and green, today and tomorrow.
