Stow Primary, Better Energy Scottish Champion

  • Submitted by: Claudia Beamish, South Scotland, Scottish Labour.
  • Date lodged: Thursday, 13 June 2019
  • Motion reference: S5M-17659

That the Parliament congratulates Stow Primary School on its excellent work on sustainability and reducing plastic waste; notes that one of its pupils, Pierre Mac, worked hard to put together a video report on the school’s work, which has been published on the BBC website; recognises that the school was named as the Scottish Champion at the 2019 Better Energy School Awards; notes that its work on sustainability has been pupil-led; understands that this has included fantastic initiatives, such as it being the first school in the country with a reverse vending machine for plastic bottles, swapping plastic for bamboo toothbrushes and making "Reece the Recycled Cow" from recycled materials; wishes it the best of luck at the UK awards in London on 18 June, and encourages other young people across Scotland to follow what it sees as the Stow pupils' trailblazing example.
