Cumbernauld nursery makes it four-in-a-row

Children at the nursery have been honoured by community initiative Supercounty to mark their efforts in achieving their fourth Green Flag from Eco-Schools Scotland.

Campaign co-ordinator Karen Lambie said: "Everyone has worked very hard in their re-cycling efforts to reduce waste, energy and water use, and deserve great credit in taking on the ambitious green-house project.

"We recognise that to become one of only 19 nurseries from the 411 schools and nurseries across Lanarkshire working towards Eco-status to attain this Permanent Four Green Flag Eco-Status is a wonderful achievement."

The nursery, which has various green initiatives on the go including recycling goods from pupils' homes and composting, was presented with a cheque for 150 from Supercounty for their hard work.

The nursery is also working on a project to create a greenhouse out of used two-litre plastic bottles.
