“We used the School Kit with the School Council and they were fascinated with the analysis of the rubbish and the story the rubbish might have told due to the type of rubbish we found. They were equally fascinated by the creatures that had made adaptations to live amongst long standing rubbish, like old clay pipes. They have continued the crusade by spreading the message at school by creating posters.”
