The Minister was entertained by the ‘Rainforest Drama’ the children performed and then chatted with them about recycling. She was also able to remind them all that today marks World Environment Day.
Bryson’s education officers from Belfast, Londonderry and Enniskillen visit primary schools throughout Northern Ireland to teach children about managing was through recycling. The ‘Sort it out’ programme has been running since 2006.
Congratulating Bryson on the programme, Arlene Foster said:
“Bryson’s education officers are giving Northern Ireland’s young people an easy and effective guide to protecting our world-renowned environment.”
Noting the children’s enthusiasm for the subject, she continued:
“Recycling doesn’t have to be difficult, or an inconvenience and it’s something everyone can do every day, as the Bryson education programme shows.”
