Sustainable Practices

¨ Put clean rubbish (like recycling) in your pocket until the right bin is available.

If you use the wrong bin (eg. recycling), the whole bag goes to general waste and damages the environment further. ¨ Avoid throwing waste on the floor!! ¨ Use a reusable container from home to bring food (sandwiches) and avoid single-use wrappings. ¨ Print double-sided and two-pages on each side of the paper when you can. ¨ Avoid individually packaged foodstuffs. eg. buy large packets of chips and not seven packs inside a larger packet. ¨ Bring home-made food to school – this is usually a cheaper option anyway! ¨ Use scrap paper!!! ¨ Bring your own cutlery from home.

Australia alone. This is why taking care of our environment is very important
