ROBOT WITH A MESSAGE: Cycler stresses the importance of recycling on visits to schools
YOUNGSTERS have been learning all about recycling from a rapping robot.
Primary school children were visited by Cycler from the environmental charity Waste Watch.
The school sessions feature the robot dancing and rapping about recycling and how to reduce waste.
Bromley Council currently recycles 19 per cent of its household waste, compared with a London average of nine per cent, but it is keen to do more.
Waste Watch education officer Vicki Stevens said: “The children quickly learn the message and take it home.” Cycler visited Bickley Primary and Mead Road Infants on Monday, St Joseph’s Catholic Primary and Bleinheim Infants yesterday and Royston Primary today.
