SCHOOL pupil Megan Alexander-Weir has lent her support to a local authority's campaign to clean up the environment.
The 11-year-old contacted Darlington Borough Council after learning of its real nappy campaign.
The initiative was designed to encourage people to avoid using disposable nappies, which are responsible for four per cent of total household waste, in favour of reusable ones.
Megan, a pupil at St Teresa's RC Primary School, wrote to the council to offer her ideas.
Sustainability officer Paula Jamieson responded by paying the school a visit yesterday to talk to pupils.
She showed the pupils examples of reusable nappies and explained steps they could take to improve the environment.
