Well we finally are under way ... The young people of Dublin 8 ( CMS Learning Centre, St. Francis CBS, Warrenmount and St Bridget's primary schools) are all coming together and reshaping all their school lunch single use plastic to create scales of a giant 30ft snake.... wonderful young talent  and lively debate (with some impromptu dancing) all day.....but the scary part is how much plastic was waiting fo me when I arrived. Each lunch consists of..
  • Chopped fruit in a sealed plastic bag
  • Sandwich in a sealed plastic bag, with a "fresh daily" tag
  • Water bottle 
  • Milk carton with Plastic straw in a plastic bag
  • Pasta pot/Granola with plastic fork/spoon
and this is EVERY day.... so as you can imagine these young people find it difficult to understand that single use plastic is something to be concerned about - it's their everyday reality!
