With a new school on the way, Woodchurch High is trying to do its bit to help the environment. The school has appointed eco reps to help manage and control the new green scheme.

In every classroom there is now a grey recycling bin with a label on the lid educating students on what things they can or cannot recycle. Every week (or fortnight) a person from a form has to take the recycling bin to the recycling area where it is taken away to be recycled.

The school also has class rooms where there are no switches at all. the lights and computers are turned off automatically at the end of the day and during holidays to save electricity.

More updates on “green” progress soon!

 

Some quick questions to get you thinking…

What are you doing to help the escalating problem of climate change?

Do you think anything we need to do anything at all?

Who or what do you blame for the cause of climate change?

Man’s arm trapped in train toilet

TGV train
TGV toilets are equipped with a powerful suction system

A passenger on a French train had to be rescued by firemen after having his arm sucked down the on-board toilet.

The 26-year-old victim was trapped when he tried to fish out his mobile phone, which had fallen into the toilet bowl, and fell foul of the suction system.

The high-speed TGV train had to stop for two hours while firemen cut through the train’s pipework.

The man was carried away by emergency services, with the toilet still attached to his arm.

“He came out on a stretcher, with his hand still jammed in the toilet bowl, which they had to saw clean off,” said Benoit Gigou, a witness to the man’s plight.

The incident happened on Sunday evening, aboard a train travelling in western France between La Rochelle and Paris
