Since the start of the year my service group, housing, and habitat have been involved in the OSC eco-schools group which is composed of the Eco-schools, Recycling and Sustainability, Gardening, and one more in primary school groups that are working together to make OSC a more environmentally conscious school. Over the last couple of weeks, representatives of each group have been meeting during lunch facilitated by Mr. Poulus to make plans for the future, starting with making garden plots and then planning for the international Running Out of Time appeal to COP20 members to make better progress to meeting environmental goals for the future.

One of the biggest changes we’ve made since the start of the year is lunchtime food recycling which is working to make our school more sustainable. In the future, we hope to encourage people to waste less food through posters and stuff.

 

During the meetings weve sorted out an alternating schedule where all services clean up food waste after secondary lunch and put it into the biogas station behind the school to put the waste to a good use.
