Join a fun, hands-on activity and help protect the planet.

Find out what really happens to plastic, take on simple challenges, and turn rubbish into something useful. You’ll make your own mini greenhouse using a recycled plastic bottle and learn how to be a recycling hero along the way.

This workshop is suitable for children aged 7 to 12. Please bring a soft plastic water bottle to use.

Come and explore how small changes can help take care of the world around us.
