Two environmentalists Scott and Matthew set up the group, after hearing a speech about fair trade. They got together and decided to form an environmental group, their first aim was to "green" up the school.

They talked about what they could do, after a few days a long list had been drawn up. They were both aware of the huge amounts of waste paper and plastic bottles the school generated. They then decided that the area that the group should concentrate on was recycling.

Scott then contacted the council to see if they could collect the plastic bottles for recycling if they gathered them. After a few days they still hadn't got any reply from the council, so Matthew phoned up the council. However the group got some bad news, because Tenby isn't part of the doorstep recycling service, the council wouldn't be able to collect plastic bottles from them. Scott and Mathew were still determined to get the school to recycle more. So they decided to get the paper recycling up and running and in the meantime find some way to get the council to recycle the bottles.

At this point the boys realised they needed a name for the group, they decided on Global Awareness Group or GAG for short. They held meetings and got a lot of support from the teachers and students. Matthew contacted a company, who sold containers for collecting paper, he persuaded them to give the group a discount, when they arrived they were put in every classroom in the sixth form block. The recycling of paper was a complete success, by the end of the first week the containers were already overflowing!

Scott contacted Pembrokeshire Friends Of the Earth for help on problem with the council. He told them about GAG and that they had set up paper recycling. He also told them that they wanted to set up a plastic bottle-recycling scheme in school, he also told them of the reply they got from the council.

They were horrified that a scheme wasn't in place already, and congratulated them on their environmental work so far. They advised Scott to contact Christine Gwyther AM. Scott told her exactly what he had told FOE. She then contacted the head of education and suggested that recycling could be introduced into every school in the county.

Matthew then came up with the idea to expand the group, to include the whole of Pembrokeshire to solve and educate the people of the county on environmental issues whilst working closely with the schools. He also contacted Nick Ainger and told him about the group. The name of the group was changed to Pembrokeshire Environmental Action Group or P.E.A.G for short.

Christine Gwyther has scheduled a meeting with the group, and with the schools year representitives. P.E.A.G plan to work closely with local environmental groups, and have a number of environmental projects planned.
