Eco Warriors' have challenged all classrooms to "Save Our Resources" - with only "Once A Week Garbage Pick Up" all classes must be more aware of what is going into the garbage! Set up your very own
"Eco Audit" team and track your classes garbage consumption! You will be very surprised by just how little you should have in your garbage at the end of the day! Go Green L.K.S.

L.K.S. launches Boomerang Lunch Program!

WasteFree Lunch Tips

o Get children to help pack their lunches with healthy foods.

o Only pack as much food as your child will eat.

o Use a reusable lunch bag/box for carrying a lunch.

o Label all containers so they have a better chance of coming home.

o Use a refillable bottle for drinks – it’s cheaper and kids can save drinks for later! Avoid drinks in packaging that cannot be resealed. After a few sips, drinks are often discarded.

o Use a thermos for cold drinks or hot soups.

o Put sandwiches, muffins, etc. in ‘tupperware’-style containers, instead of plastic bags.

o Re-use plastic margarine tubs or washed milk bags for veggies & trail mix.

o Avoid pre-packaged, single-serving portions of snacks or drinks.

o Cut big items up so your kids save food for after-school snacking or recess.

o Put reusable cutlery and napkins in your child’s lunch box.

o Prepare extra food at dinnertime and use the leftovers for lunches.

o Minimize the morning rush (when you’ll reach for the convenience, over-packaged items) and pack lunches the night before and refrigerate overnight.

o Include fresh fruit and vegetables for a healthy lunch!
