SUSTAINABILITY AT 

LYNDHURST PRIMARY SCHOOL

2021 is Lyndhurst’s year to become more mindful of our impact as a school community on the environment. We have all seen some terrible environmental news lately. A recent U.N. report shows that 1 million species are at risk from extinction; another report suggests we have only 12 years left to make critical adjustments before climate change becomes irreversible; and footage of plastic tides washing ashore has become common. 

Each month in the newsletter we will be focusing on one area where we can make a difference. It would be wonderful if this message could be communicated at home too, as our actions and choices are absorbed by the students watching us, and that makes everything we do in school and home important. We can communicate a powerful new relationship to the planet just by modelling thoughtfulness about how we use resources. 

Some of the topics each month we will be focusing on are recycling, composting, and saving energy. This month we are looking at Electricity!
