By St Francis de Sales Global ScholarsWhere does our consumption come from?
From our school research, we discovered that as the water machines in our school were no longer available - as a result of COVID-19 - people were purchasing an excessive amount of single-use water bottles.
Packaging Waste from Our Water
We collected all of the single use plastic bottles used in one day in our school.
We were appalled by the amount of single-use plastic bottles that were being used EACH DAY in our school.
Our Everyday Actions
The solution is we will share the 5R's with the rest of the school and ensure they are aware of their everyday consumption.
