Haggerston School, London"Before the work of Global Action Plan the school had no real procedures for recycling and it had not been hugely promoted by the school. Working with Global Action Plan was of huge benefit to the school as we were able to complete an audit of recycled waste, launch the campaign as a whole schools initiative, run a recycled fashion show as a promotional event and celebrate the results of the final audit which indicated the impact the campaign had made on the recycling of the school" Carol Symons, Assistant Headteacher
