Environmental News
As the Young Environmental Leaders of our school this term we are aiming to Wipe Out Waste, the Year 5 class are working towards improving the school’s recycling, and reducing waste going to landfill. It is amazing to learn that 51% of the rubbish in our bins comes from home. We can reduce this simply by reducing our food packaging which makes up 26% of our rubbish bins
The main reasons for this focus are that:
- Recycling and waste reduction conserves natural resources and energy, and ensures the sustainability of our planet
- Developing recycling and waste reduction skills in students is important learning
- Waste going to landfill is far more costly to the school than recycling, so minimising waste means there will be more money for learning resources and teaching support
Less to Landfill Challenge! We are going around to every class teaching people about which waste can go where. We are going to be getting bins for 10cent recyclables and compost. This emphasises that every piece of packaging that we can save from landfill makes a difference. As part of the Challenge, all classes are holding a ‘Nude Food’ day to focus on minimizing food and packaging waste, which is the main component of school waste that has to go to landfill. This is where you can help!
