Last week Sarah Langey from Waste Education Services came to talk to our school about how we can reduce the amount of rubbish we produce. We saw how much rubbish Nelson Central School made in only one day – it is a HUGE amount! A lot of this rubbish could be recycled and reused. We will have to think really hard before we throw something in the rubbish bin. A big worry was the amount of yummy food that was thrown away - whole apples, sandwiches, bars and muffins. We think children should take food home if they don't feel like eating it at school.
On Friday we are going to have a ‘RUBBISH FREE LUNCH DAY’. We could put our food in reusable containers or just put things straight into our lunchbox. Do you have any ideas how we can cut down on packaging in our lunches?

Hello Room 13
A rubbish free lunch - now that is a great idea! If Sarah did the same project with us later in the year, what do you think would be different? If we want to reduce the piles of rubbish for later in the year what do we need to practise?
