The 3 R's Challenge: reduce, reuse, recycle is a new competition for Birmingham schools, designed and funded by ECOTEC, and supported by Birmingham City council. 

 

The 3 R's Challenge is designed to encourage pupils to think creatively about environmental issues and how they affect their school and community.  It's open to the 560 schools and educational institutions in the Birmingham City Council area.  Schools can submit project ideas on the theme, relating it to any curriculum area.  Project ideas can be submitted on any media.  

 

The competition is organised according to age groups (early years/infants, juniors, secondary).  There will be a winner and runners-up in each category, receiving £500 and £100 respectively.  One overall winner will receive a £1000 prize and the offer of six days consultancy time from us - to help make the project happen or to enhance the curriculum in another way.

  

Please support the Challenge by making your local school aware of it.  You can get more information and a brochure from Karl Held, Marketing and Business Development Manager, or visit http://www.ecotec.com/rrr
