Answer- No, but we have a Bokashi bin.

question- What kind of recycling posters does Drysdale have around the school
Answer- Yes, we have some posters on top of the bins to say what to put in the bin.

Question- Does Drysdale PS turn off the lights when they leave the room?
Answer- Yes, we have sensor lights that senses the movement in the room so they turn off or on automatically.

Question- Does Drysdale have any zero waste lunch day during the year?
Answer- Yes, we have one every week . We won a prize for our waste free lunch days. They are called Nude Food Mondays.

Question - Has Drysdale PS been on a trip to their landfill site?
Answer - No, but we are planning to go to the one in our town.

The skype talk was very good for all students. It was great to talk to the students from Victoria. We heard from their Principal too. We hope to do it again sometime so we can share information between our schools.
