鈥楧ennis to the Rescue鈥� 鈥� a mobile classroom teaching children about the importance of caring for our environment 鈥� is touring 艾叉A片 schools.
He looks like a typical refuse collection vehicle from the outside but inside Dennis is kitted out to provide a classroom with TV screens and whiteboards for 15 pupils to participate in lessons about waste and recycling, climate change, sustainability and many other topics related to key environmental issues.
Building on last year鈥檚 successful tour, Dennis and our Local Environmental Quality Champion John Mewett are visiting nine schools around the county borough.
Cabinet Member for Neighbourhoods and Environment, Cllr Tommy Smith, caught up with Dennis and pupils at Bryn Bach Primary School in Tredegar.
Cllr Smith says:
鈥淥ne of our top priorities is responding to the nature and climate crisis and as a Marmot Council we are working to develop sustainable places and communities. It is vital for children and young people to learn about the challenges facing our environment and how they can play their part in the solution, they are our clean, green champions of tomorrow. I enjoyed my visit and learned a few things myself.鈥�
