About this program

Do we know what we can reuse, reduce and recycle? We all need to take responsibility to look after our environment so that it is preserved for future generations. This program focuses on how can help sustain the environment by reducing, reusing and recycling. It also looks at how nature manages its waste through composting. Students also have an opportunity to create a product or artwork from recyclable or waste materials.
