Green, green and green

I want a holiday with a scene
Of green, green and green

A summer of green trees
A landscape of green grass
A view full of green vegetables

The colour green
Is a beauty that must be seen!
From a moving vehicles screen

And while we hold onto those machines
That deprives us of the colour green
Remember they provide us vaccines
As well as help the air to be clean


So for green, green and green
I will travel continents across and in-between
And also to any place that I have never been
I will make it routine
Just to see green, green and green

Lets talk about reSACKel bags:

Buying a reSACKel shopping bag means you are helping the environment in 3 ways:

1. reducing your future need for disposable plastic bagsthe fabric of your bag is 100% reused plastic sacking*.


2. For every reSACKel bag you buy you save one old sack and all the resources it took to manufacture it in the first place**.


3. Why use new fabric bags when you can reSACKel? The reSACKeling process is simple, clean and efficient- so not only are you saving the resources it took to make the sack, but you are doing it in a way that does not require heavy industrial recycling processes.* They do use new nylon thread to stitch the bags, this guarantees the bag remains strong. The tags and the labels are also made out of unbleached paper sourced from a paper mill using managed forests. **


4. For one standard reSACKel shopper, we use 97% of the fabric from a 25KG sack,
   
   I totally agree we should use reSACKel bags! It's eco-friendly, helps to reduce wastage, and we can put the 3Rs in use- Reuse, reduce and recycle. We're contributing to save the Earth..

Benefits we'll have(:

• Collectable – With so many changing designs, you can make sure you have you favourites with you at all times.& you dont have to waste your money to buy another one again!
  
  
• Great variety – The sack manufacturers are really working to make their sacks bright and colourful, there are literally thousands of designs out there, it’s just a matter of getting out there and finding them. As a result we have an increasing number of bag designs to choose from, so there is bound to be a design you like, so you would bring it everywhere!(:
  
• Exclusive – There are only so many sacks of one design or pattern we can source at any one time, therefore the numbers are going to be limited, unlike new fabric bags where they are mass produced by the hundred thousand. *unique*
  
• Wipe clean - plastic sacking is easily cleaned, simply wipe with a damp cloth to remove the majority of dirt and grime. Unlike many cloth bag alternatives, you don’t need to worry about spills or grime ruining your bag.
  
• Tough - The sacking fabric is designed to carry loads of 25KG and 50KG, depending on the size of the sack, the fabric is incredibly strong and also designed not to tear, so even if you put a hole in your bag, it is not going to get any larger thanks to the woven nature of the fabric, same. You dont have to waste your money to get a new one.

"The loos flush using rainwater, roofs are covered with sedum plants, the building is heated using the playground and the desks are made from drainpipes.
In the "living" classroom, wearing jerseys bearing the school's part-flower, part-windmill logo, a group of nine to 11-year-olds demonstrate their field skills by looking for creepy-crawlies with magnifying glasses. Imogen, a bright-eyed nine year-old, talks to me about carpets. "They're made up of tiles," she tells me authoritively. "So that when it wears out, they can replace one or two rather than the whole carpet."
Welcome to Howe Dell primary school, Hatfield, the most eco-friendly building in the country.
Commissioned by Hertfordshire County Council, one of Britain's more environmentally conscientious local authorities, Howe Dell is almost an experiment in how green and sustainable a building can be.
The pièce de résistance of the building was the construction of the world's first IHT system underneath the playground. IHT, which stands for Interseasonal Heat Transfer, takes heat from the sunshine that falls on the tarmac playground, then stores it and releases it in the winter to heat the school. IHT was invented and then developed by the London-based company Icax (Interseasonal Collection and Exchange)."


I think every primary school in the country should use this school as a template for sustainability.
This is the most eco-friendly building, it's in Britain.

This would really help save the Earth!
