1. It's not RUBBISH! Assembly on waste

2. Incredible… but true We all waste food. Did you know that in one year, every one of us throws away about 70 kg of food on average? What is that equivalent to? Most of the food we throw away could have been eaten What do you think is the main reason for throwing away food?

3. We can all make a difference How do you know is something can be recycled?

4. Reduce… reuse… recycle…

5. Next week we are going to be attempting to reduce, reuse and recycle more waste than ever. Eco team and prefect monitors in hi-vis green jackets to monitor waste disposal! Lunchtime Crunchtime activity to monitor and reduce waste heading for landfill Each form will have an opportunity to develop their waste management plan © 2008 Jupiterimages Corporation 12th – 18th March 2012

6. Waste in regular bins, recycling bins and compost bins will be weighed each day The aim is to see a reduction in overall waste and the proportion of landfill waste Badges and stickers will be on offer to top reducers and recyclers! Totals will be visibly displayed each day. © 2008 Jupiterimages Corporation Lunchtime Crunchtime

7. We really need the support of the school to make this work. We hope that it will prove an enjoyable and fun week with everyone getting involved. The Lower School can really make a difference through their packed lunches and canteen choices, whilst the Upper School can dispose of takeaway waste correctly. We should also only buy and start eating what we can finish eating. © 2008 Jupiterimages Corporation We Need Your Help!
