Recycling Pens
Recycling pens sounds unusual. I know, that's what I thought when I heard about it! I thought you would have to go to some obscure place, when really it turns out you can just drop them off at Officeworks. This is great as that way, pens aren't going to landfill and they're being recycled instead. Next time, we will be showing you what to do with your broken and used toothbrushes and toothpaste tubes.
There is an art comp, would you like to do it?
Thanks to the Moreland City Council we have recently gained 6 trees to plant at our school. The trees will not only look after the environment but help our school in many ways. We have had lots of fun and help planting theses trees, and we can't wait to see what theses trees will bring.
The MPS Sustainability team will be introducing some new things to our classrooms. We will be introducing soft plastic recycling bins and compost bins for every learning area.
We hope this will help our school cut back on waste. Every Friday the compost will be collected and put in our very own compost tumbler and we will take the soft plastic to a supermarket to be recycled. Here is a quick reminder of what you put in the compost bin.
