Envirogroup

Today the Tiaki Taiao Envirogroup (open to all students in the school) met for the first time. Our Enviro-leaders have chosen Parakore/Zerowaste as our first action project, so today the Envirogroup started with a brainstorm on rubbish. This drew out lots of ideas, knowledge and questions - some of our students know heaps about rubbish and where it goes! We then had a chat about our different rubbish options at Victory - general rubbish, recycling, compost and bottle brick rubbish. Next week we'll start on a plan for how to reduce our rubbish at Victory.
