PLASTICS & ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST
Check list and post your school activities, for example, a swimming carnival, excursion, parent/teacher night or staff development day.
Importantly the checklist items are: “where practical” or “as best we can” or “improving our practices”. It is not about absolute perfection and making your activities difficult. A 20% or 50% reduction in waste is great or simply affirming the actions you already have in place. The post is shared globally and others will follow.
1 – Purchase/sell products with the least possible plastic packaging and where practical avoid selling bottled water.
2 – Prefer non-plastic drinking straws, cutlery, plates and non-polystyrene/Styrofoam containers.
3 – Avoid balloons and where reasonable other plastic items for decorations.
4 – Encourage participants to bring refillable water bottles and reusable coffee cups.
5 – After the activity remove as much of yours and other’s plastics from the area. Recycle as much as possible.
6 – Consider other environmental actions that may apply.
Login and add the activity to your Page. It will also display on the global list, so you are part of building momentum of caring for our environment across the global school community.
