The Green Scene: AISHK Sustainability Eco-Updates

♻ Recycle 

AISHK has worked hard during Term 1 to get our recycling program on track. We’re continuing to work with Love Recycling Plus and recently we received this update. 

“In Term 1, AISHK recycled over 4,290 kg of materials. This saved over 12,236 kg of carbon emissions, which is equivalent to planting 532 trees! Additionally, the recycled paper & cardboard helped save more than 27 trees from being cut down.” 

Our next goal is to REDUCE the amount of waste that we produce. 

How parents can help: 

• Use reusable containers to send snacks and lunches and avoid single use plastics 

• Pack realistic portions to avoid food going to waste 

• Pack foods that your child wants to eat and include them in shopping and preparing food

• Ask your child to bring home their uneaten food home so you can adjust their lunches and snacks 

• Talk as a family about reducing waste at home 

• Bring your own reusable bags when shopping 

• Bring reusable containers when getting takeaway 

🌏Earth Day 

Earth day was on Wednesday 22 April. Mr. Chadha has installed beautiful Earth Day signs in the stairwell between each floor. These were made using reclaimed wood from our very own Green Roof. Please look out for them next time you are on campus.
