Kids Zero in on Waste

Doing More With Less students from North Cottesloe PS and Cottesloe PS met today after school to discuss their design for their custom made bin system. This was their second meeting with Rikki, from Creative Spaces, to discuss how they could help educate the public about waste and recycling. They discussed practical issues such as how they would get their creation to events like Sculpture by the Sea, Hallabaloo and the St Luke's Fair in Mosman Park. The team looked over the brief they had given Rikki last month and made suggestions about how people would see the rubbish once it went into the bin. They discussed on site composting and wormfarms, too. So many ideas. After an hour and a half they had honed their ideas and finally signed off on the designs presented by Rikki. Thanks to a Waste Grant from the Waste Authority the girls will see their custom made bins at events in their community at the end of the year.
