Team Portarlington

Meet the Portarlington team:  Jack, Tom, Jackson Ross, Charlotte, Montana and Gabby.

They are concerned about the amount of rubbish and the lack of recycling at their school.  The team knows that before people will do something, they need to know more about the problem.  So they spoke at the school assembly, and gathered the waste from that one Friday onto a big tarp.  Here's what it looked like.

It make you realise just how much packaging there is when you see it all together like this!

Next the team is trying to tackle food waste.  They plan to put a food scraps bin in each of the 8 classrooms, and one in the staff room and a student from each room will empty the bin into the compost bin or worm farm each day. 

Next on the agenda, the team hopes to work out ways to recycle their plastic waste. 

Refuse, reduce, re-use,  recycle, re-think, realise...
