Christmas time is my favourite time of the year, and it is also the best time to really put sustainability into practise. In order to ensure that you have an Eco-Friendly Christmas, the Year 3 Waste Warriors have researched and come up with these awesome tips and tricks.

1. Choose your gift wrap carefully, prioritising reusable or recyclable gift wrap ideas (i.e. newspaper, decorated brown bags).
2. Be sure to take the tape off opened wrapping paper before putting it in the recycle bin.
3. Old christmas lights can be taken to The Green Shed in Mitchell.
4. Select gifts that have minimal packaging and plastic parts.
5. Homemade and DIY gifts, or locally made gifts reduce our carbon footprint.  
6. Check for Fair Trade labels on chocolate.

Thank you for all of your hard work this year, Waste Warriors! You have made a huge difference in the way our school disposes of it's waste.
