Don't use a garburator! What about a bokashi bucket? Look at http://www.bokashi.com.au/How-Bokashi-works.htm

Hi Tahirh
We have an "enviroschools" programme in New Zealned, with many sustainable schools around the country. Check out: http://www.enviroschools.org.nz/
In Lincoln, The High school has a silver enviroschools award and the kindergarten the top green-gold award, with the primary school working towards being an enviroschool. We also have a whole community aiming to be more sustainable - Lincoln Envirotown, as well as helping other local communities set up their own groups. Best wishes Sue

Hi Rebecca
I am very interested in your solar roll out. We are looking at doing something similar on a smaller scale. Please could you send me information of your rebate scheme?

Re: Myth-busting -- children influencing parents

Hi Marjorie
I found your response to Michelle a bit depressing! In my school (Lincoln High School) in New Zealand, a group of students, following an environmental education course run by Lincoln University came back to school and started a student led environmental group, which got paper recycling under way, with boxes in the classrooms. Before long a parent in a neighbouring community that had children at the school, started collecting paper and bringing it to the school to be recycled, as did many people in the Lincoln community. This started in 1991 and the environmental group is still active and the whole school has set up systems for recycling, waste reduction , energy reduction etc. We now have education for sustainability in many areas of the school and we gained our silver Enviroschools award this year. The Enviroschools programme is a great way of encouraging the whole school community to make changes. The parents are involved too. www.enviroschools.org.nz The Lincoln Envirotown Trust, that I am involved with, runs children's holiday programmes and an after school Envirokids club for 3-12 year olds. Parents and caregivers need to come with the children, so this is a great way for the information to be shared with the whole family. www.lincolnenvirotown.org.nz
