Schoolchildren will continue to learn about climate change and recycling. West Sussex Waste Partnership has signed a new contract with UK environmental education organisation Wastebuster, meaning pupils will keep studying environmental challenges in school. Through the programme, schools are given lesson plans, information and resources to educate children on topics such as waste reduction, climate change and the impact of recycling.
The programme reaches primary age pupils up to secondary school students.

“This new contract will enable all school users across the county to access materials that will help them learn not only about recycling and waste prevention at home and school but also about how their actions have an impact on the environment and emissions as a whole. “I hope this will have a lasting impact for generations to come.”.
