Preshil - Arlington Argus

What a lot of Rubbish!

Leave no trace

Out door play and a love of the environment is  something dear to all of us at Preshil. We believe there is so much to learn, enjoy, and experience in nature, and it is immensely important that our enjoyment  with nature is an enriching experience that inspires creativity.

 

 

We are so lucky to have an abundance of natural open spaces at Arlington that are cherished and it is our responsibility to work together to preserve and enjoy these spaces so they remain as they are: natural and thriving.

 

It has been wonderful watching our children actively involved with Bush School and applying the 'Leave no Trace' principles to their outdoor experience. We would like to extend this to our natural environment at Arlington.

 

Every piece of packaging or excess food that we can save from landfill

makes a difference. At Arlington we have a focus on reducing the amount of material that we send to landfill through composting and recycling.

 

 

When planning lunches please help us minimise food and packaging waste by packing a waste-free lunch.

 

Try to pack ...    A Waste-Less Lunchbox

  • Snacks in reusable containers
  • Drinks in a reusable container
  • Reusable utensils when needed
  • A reusable lunchbox 
  • Small pieces of fruit, yoghurt or snack items in a reusable container

Avoid ...  A Disposable Lunchbox

  • Lunches packed in plastic bags or wrap, foil, wax paper
  • Disposable drink boxes, pouches, cans, cartons, and bottles
  • Disposable forks and spoons
  • Pre-packaged single-serve snack items
