OUR FOCUS FOR TERM 3 IS REDUCING WASTE!

We will be weighing the amount of rubbish in our red bins at school, these bins collect the things that cannot be recycled or placed in the compost. It is all the rubbish that ends up in landfill.

TWO FRIGHTENING FACTS...

• In 2019, it was estimated that Australia produced over 76 million tonnes of waste or 1.4 kg per person per day.
• In 2017, 67 million tonnes of waste was generated in Australia, while in 2019, the total waste produced was 76 million tonnes – an alarming 13% rise in two years.

The reality is that our garbage problem is only getting worse, and we need to take action now. By working together and making some simple changes, we can make a big difference. Let’s start by reducing our waste at school and leaving the right kind of impact on our environment.

AT SCHOOL...

Each class bin will be weighed and compared later in the term. We will be promoting a reduce waste message at school and celebrating rubbish free ways of living.
