Have you noticed?

The two mature trees we transplanted last year in our centre yard are coming back in full strength. 

We have fenced off the area under the street trees at the back of the school, so soil, grass and trees can recover.   

The canteen is phasing out plastic cutlery (replaced by bamboo cutlery) and slushy straws, while compostable, will soon be paper.

Keep doing the right thing, recycle your slushy cups, put your rubbish in the bins and work towards global solidarity!

LMs taking action

During the first week this term, many LMs have agreed on one sustainable habit they would like to adopt or improve on this term. So far we have LMs who will:

• have nude foods
• check lights, heaters and air conditioners are turned off when not in use
• promote walking and riding to school
• replace signage on our bins, and
• organise paper bins for the classrooms.

We look forward to the remaining LM groups taking charge and action as well. Because

we don’t need a handful of people doing sustainability perfectly - we need millions of people doing it imperfectly!

As Pope Francis reminds us - “too often we participate in the globalisation of indifference. May we strive instead to live in global solidarity".
