Children attending Monmouth's Destiny's Child day nursery centre have been learning all about the importance of recycling. Thanks to a grant from the council, the nursery has invested in a wormery, a composting bin, a water butt to contain rain water, and several bins to help teach the children how to sort waste which can be recycled and which would otherwise have been thrown away. They are also investing re-chargeable batteries to power the many electrical items used in the nursery. Another project is to plan and develop a vegetable garden which incorporates flowers, herbs and vegetables to help children understand the cycle of recycling. "We believe it's the nursery's responsibility alongside caring and educating the children to help to raise them as responsible members of the community who can help to make a huge difference in saving our planet," said nursery owner, Elaine Mitchell. "By doing this we don't only reduce our individual carbon foot prints but the nursery as a whole and hopefully future generations. "We know that we have to change the way children are educated and cared for and here at Destiny's Child Day Care we have taken the initiative and first step in recycling to help to improve the future and destiny of our children."
