The St Columba’s Climate Crew have been discussing National Recycling Week and wanted to share the following tips with our community. 

How to GREEN your home for National Recycling Week.

1. Green your home – Indoor plants not only look great but they can help purify the air in your home.

2. Declutter – By getting rid of clutter you reduce the dust in your home and the air will be cleaner.

3. Recycle –  At school we make sure that we are using our school bins correctly and recycling what we can. At home, make the effort as a family to recycle or you may like to start a compost. 

4. Nude food - At St Columba's we promote nude food. Please support us in doing this when helping to pack lunches and when making purchases from the supermarket. 

5. Make every day ‘ride your bike to school day’ – Older students can calculate how much petrol, money and emissions they can save by reducing the time spent in a car! As the weather is getting warmer it is a great time to ride, scoot or walk to school if you can. 

We hope these tips will help you to GREEN your home for National Recycling Week.From your Climate Crew.
