Watt on Earth! That’s a lot of batteries

Leen and Yasin had been busy collecting batteries for the school’s recycling project, with help from their friends. Wanting to inspire others, they came up with a brilliant idea—making a video to encourage the whole school to join in. They emptied every box they had, even getting Mum and Dad involved in the mission. Their hard work paid off when they brought in more than 1,000 batteries in a single night. Soon after, their collection soared past 15,000 batteries, and the total is still rising fast. Leen and Yasin’s enthusiasm has sparked a school-wide recycling movement.
