Greenvale Primary’s Environmental Journey!
This year at Greenvale Primary School we have continued to strive towards creating a more sustainable and generally ‘greener’ future. Throughout our journey so far we have implemented the following strategies:
- Annual ‘nude’ food day
- Composting and worm farm
- Recyclable and reusable donations to the art room
- Classroom scrap paper boxes (reusing paper)
- Bin system that incorporates green, recycled and landfill waste
- Signage on bins to show what goes on each bin
- Book exchange
- Photocopying double sided
- Recycling ink cartridges
- Electronic newsletters (no print reminder)
- Educate school community
Greenvale PS is working towards achieving the following goals in the years to come:
- Rewarding teachers for double sided printing or photocopying
- Environmentally sustainable vegetable garden
- Removing the drainage pipe from the bottom of the ‘bubbler’ troughs and placing a bucket underneath to collect excess water. This water will then be reused to water our environmentally sustainable vegetable garden.
- Nude food day every day
- Earth hour once a week (during a lunch time?)
- Canteen to only sell nude food
- Reduce number of ‘canteen’ days available
- Whole school composting
