Children create art
works with an environmental message
Children at Hartley Primary
School showed Newham Mayor Sir Robin Wales how they created art
works made from recycled materials when he visited their
school.
The pupils created the works of art as part of the 'Go
Green' day held at the school in East Ham.
The Mayor was joined by Councillors Quintin Peppiatt, Ian Corbett,
Lakmini Shah, Unmesh Desai, Mary Skyers and Omana Gangadharan at
the event.
Visitors were also given advice on household recycling, improving
energy efficiency and how to minimise food waste.
Newham Mayor Sir Robin Wales said: "I was very impressed by the
art works. It was good to see the children getting on board with
the recycling message.
"Newham's residents are already doing brilliantly when it comes to
recycling but there is still room for them to do more. It was good
to see so many of the borough's residents taking an interest in how
they can become more environmentally friendly."
The event, organised by the East Ham Community Forum, also offered
healthy eating guidance and advice on alternative transport such as
cycling.
