Food waste at Wakaaranga - Our new 2025 Eco Warriors get problem solving

 



Mr Dowden showed us we have a big problem with the food waste that is being collected at playtime and lunchtime.  Can you see the problem from the photo above?

There is too much plastic rubbish going into our food waste bins.  That can't go into the worm farm and poor Mr Dowden has to sort it.

What can we do?
- have more signs
- all the Eco Warriors can split into groups and stay by the bins to help sort
- bring back the litterfree lunch competition
- peel oranges at home
- put posters around the school
- make a venn diagram to show compost/landfill
- - help Mr Dowden with the sorting
- leave rubbish at home

We investigated what another GreenGold school does:


What can we do?
Go around classes to educate everyone
Create an assembly item to educate
Collect in smaller buckets
Help Mr Dowden

We are going to keep working on this problem next week.
