Kyle and Jarod from Bertram PS and Joshua and Heather from SCBC were part of the Millennium Kids Doing More with Less workshop in Kwinana. The day was about how to keep the local environment healthy. In the afternoon, we joined the Blogging team to write what we had learnt during the day.
3 Recycling Tips
The more we can recycle the less rubbish and pollution in our area.
1. Make sure you learn which products you can put in the recycling bins
2. Use old parts to make something new
3. Eat more organic foods and less processed foods (processed foods have more waste)
7 Tips to Reduce Plastic
We should reduce plastic because it doesn't break down and ends up polluting our oceans and in our rubbish tips.
1. Sew cotton bags to bag vegetables and fruit at the supermarket
2. Re-use the same plastic bags that you have
3. Use the supermarket recycling bags
4. Use one plastic for all fruits and vegetables instead of many
5. Buy the organic fruits that don't come in plastic bags
6. Reuse plastic bags and containers
7. Reuse plastic bottles to make plant pots
4 Worm Farming Tips
Worm Farms are a great way to use food scraps instead of throwing them in the bin.
1. No citrus fruit scraps (those can be put into compost instead)
2. Only use food waste
3. Make sure your soil is moist
4. Identify the types of worms that you have
We hope that these tips will help you to keep the environment clean by reducing your waste.
Great tips - now let's see if we can put some of them into action!
