ECO (Environmental Care Organisation) is made up of the children at the school who are ready to minimise their global footprint.

They're in a team that has just finished building a two-metre tall greenhouse made up of 1652 two-litre and 1.25-litre bottles.

The school won the Make a Difference competition run by radio station C91.3, which supported the project.

Now that the greenhouse is completed, it is aimed at enhancing the school's Environmental Education Program.

Year 1 teacher Kaitlin West, whose idea it was to build the greenhouse, said she was inspired by photos former principal Andy Best brought from overseas.

``As the number of plastic bottles grew in my classroom, Allan Haworth and his work mates from his local business, Al the Handyman, got to work,'' Ms West said.

``A steel frame was constructed and the bottoms of the plastic bottles were cut off, enabling a secure wall to be built as the bottles were threaded onto PVC pipe. Each pipe was bolted to the

structure, enabling all walls, both doors and the roof to be secured.

``A green-ribbon cutting ceremony took place on March 11, when the greenhouse was presented to the wider community.''
