Included this week in Sustainability News:-
- Thank you for support in reducing waste
- Lunch Box Tips
Thank you to everyone who has made such an effort to reduce their lunch box wrappers. Many families are down to zero every day! We have noticed that there is a lot less rubbish in our school and barely any rubbish entering the yard at all.
A reminder to families that starting next term any lunch wrappers brought to school will be sent home in children’s lunch boxes. The reason for this is to encourage people not to send wrappers to school in the first place. We have heard some people ask, “but what’s the point of that? If we take the wrapper off at home it just ends up in the bin anyway.” So we will be adding some lunch box tips to this section of our newsletter to help give some ideas!
Also we still have a few copies left of our recipe book from last year, “The Healthy Lunchbox”, if you missed out. If you would like a copy, please contact me (Kelly). They are $10 each.
Lunchbox tip #1 Buy in Bulk
Buy in bulk and sort food into containers! It will save you money as well as saving the environment.

- Big tubs of yogurt (you can buy buckets!) scooped into containers.
- Boxes of biscuits, crackers, chips etc rather than a bag full of small bags.
