 ZERO WASTE EDUCATION

Picture

This year for Zero Waste,  Rachel Wilson came in and taught us about what is rubbish, how to Reuse, Recycle and Reduce waste.  We made cool rocket jet packs out of bottles and other plastic bits and pieces.   

At our school we encourage 'Litter free' lunches
​

Ideas for waste free lunches
Include:
  • Sandwiches in reusable containers
  • Whole fruit
  • Drinks in reusable drink bottles
Food in recyclable containers
​
Don’t include:
  • Sandwiches wrapped in tinfoil or cling wrap
  • Non-recyclable wrappers.  Eg. Chips, boxed drinks, muesli bars in wrappers

Rachel's main message is Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
