Students are being encouraged to minimise their waste through a play currently touring schools across Hertfordshire.

Actors play celebrities, including Ant and Dec, Gok Wan and Alan Carr in the hope to raise awareness among young people of how minimising waste can have a big environmental impact.

The play, which will feature in more than 50 schools, is funded by WasteAware, at Hertfordshire County Council, and the Hertfordshire Environmental Forum.

Students will be encouraged to come up with their own ideas of ways to recycle with the chance to win an iPod Shuffle.
