One of your challenges is 'finding things (to go in lunch boxes) that are wrapper free.' Imagine if every North Parmelia family gave one idea - you would have a whole book of wrapper free ideas!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea Inland to Ocean! Proceeds from the book could help fund future sustainability ideas or prizes for incentives. Have you considered using old fridges to make worm farms? Ask parents in the school newsletter if anyone has an old broken fridge they dont need. The Mindarie Regional Council have some great examples of fridge worm farms at their Education Centre.
ReplyDeleteHi North Parmelia. I noticed you were looking for certificates. I emailed one to Mrs Watts that you might be able to print and use. Good luck, Cara from Waste Wise.
