I absolutely loved all of my school's trips to industrial sites.
We went to:
- A Coke bottling facility (when the bottles were still mostly returnable glass ones), it was mesmerising.
- A chocolate and confectionery factory (as you may have guessed, kids were ecstatic about this one).
- A recycling plant processing paper and plastics.
- A nuclear power plant.
All of those between the ages of 10-13 as well, mentioning it now made me realise how vivid those memories are, thanks for helping me to remember them :)
