Shotlist: Raw interview footage with director Peter Paterson, concerning his short film Rutherglen Day Nursery Environmental Project: That's Recycling, made under the Scottish Film Council and Scottish Television's First Reels scheme.

Discusses:- Produced for Rutherglen Day Nursery, environmental issues with pre-5's. The recycling campaign and the work they had done in the nursery. Target audience was parents of the children and maybe to roll out to other pre-5 groups in Glasgow. The director was interested in the teaching methods used and also as he is a parent of young children himself. Favourite part of programme is when children talk about their experiences of recycling things like newspapers or aluminium cans, and what they had learnt. Talks about a play that the children are involved with and that features in the film. The video was shot in one day, edited in two days, one day in pre-production. Peter put the script together. How much he enjoyed working with the young children and made him think about the environment more in seeing it through their eyes.
