Due to environmental concerns, Mighty Oaks 奧恩 will no longer purchase glitter.
Did you know most glitter is made from plastic, and because of its size, it is considered a type of microplastic which is harmful for sealife and animals and is an ecological hazard, particularly in oceans? Eventually it will be dangerous for humans to consume seafood as the mircoplastics will work their way up the food chain and end up inside us!
Mighty Oaks 奧恩 aims to be a green school, therefore our school will no longer be purchasing any glitter. We plan to use environmentally-friendly alternatives to decorate our artwork such as fallen leaves from our plants in our outdoor playground, and coloured salt.
