FOOD WASTE CHALLENGE
As part of our work towards our second Green Flag, we are taking part in the FOOD WASTE CHALLENGE, challenging us to tackle the issue of food waste at school and at home by recycling more. Each family will receive internal waste bin stickers and a family pledge for pupils to sign along with their family to keep at home, promising that they are going to be food waste heroes.
We have already taken part in a Food Waste Survey about our food waste recycling at home and in school and we are looking forward to finding out more about what actions we can take to reduce food waste in school and in our homes.
And there are some great prizes to be won as part of the challenge. One school in each council area will win £200 for the best Home Actions photo and £300 for the Best School Actions to reduce food waste. So please remember to record anything you do at home to reduce food waste… using brown food bins, composting, using up leftovers etc. We’ll forward an email address after half term to send your photos to.
Remember to keep an eye on the school website for Eco-School updates on this and other events.
Enjoy the challenge & have fun!
