Second-graders from two classes of "P. R.Slaveykov " National School receive their lunch in the biodegradable packaging of BIO PAK BG. The company that takes care of the food preparation in the school chair prepares the required number of portions in special containers to be transferred to the classroom. In order to avoid the accumulation of students and in order to reduce the risk of spreading the coronavirus, the class teachers of the 2nd and 2nd grade decided to make a different organization of the lunch meal and turned the desks into dining tables. Moreover, their colleagues who are responsible for all-day training, ie. for the afternoon activities of the children - Irina Bosheva and Petar Arabadjiev, are at risk.

Not only did the parents not object, but they gladly responded to the idea. 
We remind you that PR Slaveykov National School is the first eco-school in Plovdiv, which is a member of the international organization Eco-Schools and the Blue Flag movement. This is a European program that aims to increase students' knowledge in the field of ecology, to encourage their participation in practical activities that lead to a reduction of harmful effects on the environment and the consumption of water and energy. Plovdiv Primary School is working on the projects "Be modern - collect separately", "Plant a tree - give life", as well as the international program "Learning about the forest".

"Feeding in biodegradable packaging is another important activity in the direction of environmental education of children. Although the reason for eating in the classroom is the desire to keep colleagues and children healthy. At the end of the classes, the students wash their hands thoroughly in the bathroom on the floor, and then return to the room, where they receive lunch from their teachers, ”explained the principal Dimka Vracheva. 
After feeding, sophomores discard the packaging in the brown container, and it decomposes in 8-12 weeks.
