-
Conduct waste audits to find out what you are throwing away
-
Talk with your Board of Trustees and stakeholders to help embed waste minimisation into your school curriculum and policies
-
Help you set up systems to minimise your school's waste, and provide advice and information on sustainable purchasing practices
- Run workshops for teachers, students and parents including:
- The 3 Rs - Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
- Zero-waste lunches
- Composting, EM Bokashi, worm farming
-
Provide resources, support and advice to the whole school community
- Help you measure your progress in terms of waste reduction and cost savings!
The WES programme for Schools is a free programme funded by the Nelson City and Tasman District Councils, through the Nelson Environment Centre (NEC).
