Zero Waste at Broadgreen

For this term and till the end of the year Broadgreen are working on being a zero waste school,3 monitors from our class  have been chosen to represent room 2 to lead the class to be a zero waste school, they are Campbell Rollo, Aimee Mullenger and Maia Tarapipipi. They are trying to encourage other students to bring less rubbish to school by...... 
  • Having a zero waste lunch box which contain no packaging or rubbish.
  • Recycle wrapped food i.e.. wrapped muesli bars,small packed chips in to the container for unwanted food that is getting wasted in our lunch boxes.
  • There will be no rubbish bins around the school.
  • We will be getting some picnic tables to go around the canteen soon.
  • And each class is going to get a compost bin to put their bread,fruit and veggie scraps.

  1. Great idea Rm 2. Nayland Kindergarten also has this as a goal and the children have made a visual stand with boxes numbered one to six showing differing amounts of waste in a lunch box. Children aim for number one. The children and teachers would be more than happy to share this information with you if you would like to come over one morning tea time and you could come and talk and see it in action. The children have also been in the Leader showing their waste free lunch box efforts. We are happy to share!Let us know.
