<span style="font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; margin: 0px;">These used
spectacles have been left at the school’s recycling centre and will be
delivered to Dunstone Optometry in Hadleigh soon - <span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>the second load this year.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; margin: 0px;">They will be
sent to Vision Aid Overseas, who recycle them to raise funds to support their work
abroad.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; margin: 0px;"><b><u>Fundraising for school.</u></b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Babergh/Mid Suffolk have always supported our recycling Centre since it opened 25years ago, supplying new bins , offering advice and more recently, getting the recycling banks moved to the Village Hall's car park while the School's toilets were being refurbished. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">So the letter that arrived just before Christmas from Babergh/Mid Suffolk Waste department detailing a reduction in the money per tonne paid to school for paper, glass and textiles was a bit of a shock. This was the first change since the recycling centre was opened 25years ago and I've always assumed that this was because money from the Landfill Tax, introduced by John Gummer to encourage recycling, subsidised our scheme.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">It would seem that our school's eco-fundraising scheme will have to rely more on selling books and inkjet cartridges.</span><br />

Like many of the books that are left at the recycling centre, this perfect little book, with a tatty cover, was sold to an internet buyer. Better quality books are added to the book stall at the bottom of our drive in Whatfield Road.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We accept all types of adult and children's books-- any age and condition. Those that are too tatty are torn up and put into the paper bank at our recycling centre and help to boost the weight credits that we receive from Babergh /Mid Suffolk Council.It's a win win situation! HURRAY</div>

In fact, I haven't spent the winter travelling the world, but have been trying to keep up with a number of changes recently, which have taken up a lot of my timeand energy!<br />
Firstly-- just after my last report, BCR Global, the company that has serviced our textile recycling all these years, surprised everyone by going into liquidation. The textile back was sealed up while another company was found to replace BCR. Fortunately, with s a great deal of support from Babergh/Mid Suffolk Waste department, who supplied a wheelie bin for the public to use, the textiles were all stored safely in my garage until the new company(ERC) started collections earlier this year.<br />
About this time Takeback Ltd who take our laser and inket cartridges, was sold to another, very large company. This hasn't has much impact as yet.<br />
Then -HURRAY - the school anounced that the very ancient and problematical toilets were going to be replaced and the tempoery toilets needed to go on the recycling centre as it was the only place where the sewage pipe could be accessed!<br />
So all the recycling banks were re-sited on the Village Hall car park. Once again Babergh/ Mid Suffolk waste and recycling department stepped in and organised this.<br />
Only the <b>Book Recycling </b>has carried on as normal. Loads of wonderful books hav been donaated and I've had time tosort and sell them on the Internet<br />

It takes a while to collect enough stamps to send to the R,S. P. B., so I was pleased to post this parcel yesterday.<br />
Had to look up their address, so did a bit of research at the same time.<br />
Stamps raised £17.000 to help save the Albatross between 2012 -2013.<br />
Uk stamps raise £6.00 per kg.<br />
Foreign Stamps raise £17.00 per kg.<br />
More unusual or rare stamps sell for more.<br />
<br />
My parcel weighed just over a kilogram and contained UK , foreign stamps and hopefully a few rare ones. A dropi n the ocean, but worth doing I think!Sumachttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11129690020631947828noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38138513.post-55044088149224137752015-04-05T16:33:00.000+00:002015-04-05T16:33:49.892+00:00Catching up time.

But Green Metropolis was much more than that -- a community website for book lovers, with a discussion forum, info about books and much more!<br />
<br />
In his closing statement, Barry Crow says:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<b>Together we’ve helped keep more books in circulation for longer, helping the environment and, with your help, have raised over £35,000 for our charity partner</b>.</blockquote>
Out of this amount, The Woodland Trust received a massive £28,224.00. What a great achievement. Let's hope Barry Crow has another brilliant idea up his sleeve!Sumachttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11129690020631947828noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38138513.post-48251589991095074512015-01-23T14:38:00.001+00:002015-01-23T15:20:51.241+00:00New Year.

I'm just amazed at the number and quality of books that are passed on to me to sell and raise funds for school. I'd love to have time to read a many of them, but.......!<br />

This summer has been very busy for the recycling centre--our
20th year. Loads of wonderful fiction and non-fiction paper and hardbacks have
been left in my porch and deposited in the wheelie bin at the recycling centre.
Unsuitable ones contribute to the weight in the paper banks. Other are put on a
stall by my gate .Others are sold on the internet. The book below is on Ebay As new, it'sunusual and a bargain!<o:p></o:p></div>

Plastic carrier bags are a plague on the natural world, so I've started to collect them at the recycling centre. Not convinced if, or how they are recycled by the large supermarkets, but they will be taken to one of their collection points unitl I find a better alternative. I understand, if the price is right, they are shipped to the Far East in the empty container vessals that bring goods to this country. Not too sure how they are dealt with there! Otherwise they are put into landfill sites. If anyone knows better, please let me know.<br />

I believe we were one of the first schools in Suffolk to do this.<br />
It was a great way to introduce the pupils to many aspects of environmental education not least , the problems of waste, pollution, the destruction and how to care for our environment in a sustainable way. In fact, on our first application to become an Eco School we were awarded a Green flag, the highest level of achievement.<br />
Since leaving teaching, environmental issues are getting worse. Our children and grandchildren face a dire future and need to know how their lifestyles can make a difference. I'm not sure that the national curriculum tackles this in any depth-- but I could be wrong! They should look at my daughter's<a href="http://www.worldchanging.me/"> new website</a> for helpful hints and expert advice.<br />
So we are celebrating 20 years of recycling this term, starting with an all day party in the village hall this Friday. Leaflets and a bin liners have been distributed throughout the village, which people have been asked to fill with recyclables and bring to the event. Members of the PTA and children from the Eco committee will sort everything out. Should be fun. Tea and cakes will be available. Cheers!<br />
Meanwhile -- a bit of tidying up is needed at the recycling centre.<br />

The children's toilets need refurbishing (Suffolk County Council has no money due to budget cuts) and extra resources are needed for the new curriculum. <br />
So the target is a massive £12,000.<br />
I was sorting out books to sell, I was trying to think of an appropriate slogan for our campaign.<br />
Books for Bogs came to mind, but perhaps A Read for the Toilets would be more acceptable?Sumachttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11129690020631947828noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38138513.post-49611665630102610012014-02-28T11:40:00.000+00:002014-02-28T13:30:02.583+00:00Still recycling<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I apologise for the slight pause with blogging over the winter, partly due to sorting out the recycling accounts and then getting used to a new laptop when my very old computer died.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Our recycling centre was opened 20 years ago! The drawings above are from that time and are self portraits drawn by some of the children that I taught. My weekly assemblies were always about caring for our environment (in its broadest sense, from waste to wonder) with the children went to secondary school quite a few of them were eco-warriors and still are, I hope!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We continue to collect paper, glass, textiles, drinks cartons, books and aluminium cans at our recycling centre in the fenced off area at the end of the school playground.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I pick up toner and inkjet cartridges from local companies and Takeback Ltd collects from other local and national companies on our behalf. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Spectacles are given to Vision Aid Overseas, via our local optician and aluminium foil is collected by members of the Sudbury Resource Centre.</div>

Looking back over the year, I've spent a busy and fruitful time selling the best books that have been donated to our recycling centre.</div>
Over 400 have been bought from the stall at my gate for 20p each, but more if the buyer thinks they are worth it. There is a selection of over 300.on my <a href="http://amazon.co.uk/shops/ecomaid">Amazon.</a>shop, all reasonably priced and in very good or better conditition. I've also sent quite a few to Amazon to be "traded-in".<br />
This is one of the latest books to go on Amazon. It's "as new" and the pocket that hold the CD is unopened.<br />

Well--the rag raiders have been again! This time they damaged our bank and no-one could open it. So thanks to prompt action by Black Country Rags (BCR), we now have this FORT KNOX style container on site. <br />
The police have reacted quickly and perhaps this might be the last time that I have to contact them. <br />
If any rag raiders read this, they should know that we are hatching a cunning plan!Sumachttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11129690020631947828noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38138513.post-15892702773961757422012-12-14T09:41:00.000+00:002012-12-14T09:41:08.412+00:00Recycling at its best!<iframe src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/51890020?title=0&byline=0&portrait=0" width="400" height="226" frameborder="0" webkitAllowFullScreen mozallowfullscreen allowFullScreen></iframe><p><a href="http://vimeo.com/focusforwardfilms/semifinalists/51890020">Landfill Harmonic | Juliana Penaranda-Loftus & Alejandra Nash</a> from <a href="http://vimeo.com/focusf">Focus Forward Films</a> on <a href="http://vimeo.com">Vimeo</a>.</p>Sumachttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11129690020631947828noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38138513.post-73370693231557686772012-12-09T12:34:00.001+00:002012-12-09T12:45:05.219+00:00Money, Money, MoneyAll aspects of our recycling fund raising schemes, continue to benefit Elmsett School. Recently, we have decided to close the recycling account with the Ipswich Building Society and put all the money straight into the School fund. This will enable the school access recycling funds as and when they need the money. <br />
We would like to thank Janice Dixon and the staff at Larking Gowen, for doing the recycling accounts, free of charge, for nearly 20 years.<br />
I shall continue to organise the recycling centre.<br />
The closing amount in the recycling fund was £8,656.95 and a cheque for this amount was handed over to the headmistress, Myra Shackleton last week.Sumachttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11129690020631947828noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38138513.post-5778339271700072122012-10-13T14:37:00.000+00:002012-10-13T14:37:57.763+00:00It's arrived!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Our tamper-proof textile bank has been delivered by Black Country Rags, so unless the rag raiders attack it with precision metal cutting implements, our textile donations should be safe!<br />
Also--I have the code and can check how much is in the bank. I wonder if other schools do this? I know that another local small school rarely has much in their bank when BCR makes a collection. It's easy money for the rogue traders!!Sumachttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11129690020631947828noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38138513.post-53754323327918563512012-08-30T15:19:00.000+00:002012-08-30T15:19:05.880+00:00Don't bin it, eat it!My gran would have been astonished by the amount of perfectly good food that the average British family throws away these days (it amounts to 7.2 million tonnes of food and drink a year). Some of it's because shoppers don't make lists and buy too much, some is because consumers don't understand what is or isn't safe to eat, and some of it is because people don't know what to make with it. All of this food waste isn't just a waste of your housekeeping money; it costs a lot of money to dispose of it - £12bn a year - that we pay for through our council taxes.<br />
<br />
In this video, two Birmingham chefs show what they can do with some vegetables that fussy shoppers would reject. For more ideas, go to the <b><a href="http://england.lovefoodhatewaste.com/">Love Food, Hate Waste</a></b> website. If you want to be really thrifty, look for the battered-looking produce that's going cheap at the end of any market day, and buy yourself some bargains to make cheap and easy meals.<br />

My daughter, has just published her first children's book about Old Knobbley, an 800 year old Oak tree, which is still growing slowly, in a field on the outskirts of Mistley, Essex </div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
The book tells us about the important events in Old Knobbley's life and Morag has illustrated each stage with detailed, beautifull drawings. At the end, children are encouraged to collect acorns and grow their own oak trees and help to create an Old Knobley Forest that will live for another 800 years.</div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
So buy the book from <a href="http://lulu.com/">Lulu.com</a> and have a go! Just search for Old Knobbley</div>
