Save water reminder

Save water reminder

To encourage children to develop good sustainability habits sometimes they just need a visual reminder (this also can apply to adults) We have in our collection some vinyl sticker to help out - Turn the lights off and Turn the tap off.  www.pdfeducationsupplies.com.au.  Just by turning off the tap while you brush your teeth in the morning and before bedtime, you can save up to 30 litres of water! That adds up to more than 900 litres a month, enough to fill a huge fish tank that holds 6 small sharks! The same is true when you wash dishes. Turn off the tap! Scrape your dirty dishes into the trash—then put them in the dishwasher.

Sustainability Practices

Sustainability Practices

Schools can move towards becoming sustainable organisations by committing to identifying, conserving and improving the environmental and heritage values of their school site, and by reducing their ecological footprint. As a starting point they can reduce waste, minimise energy, transport and water usage, increase recycling, encourage biodiversity in the school grounds, conserve the heritage value of the site, use sound purchasing practices and ensure canteen products are environmentally appropriate. Moving towards sustainability needs to become an important feature of how the school organises its daily operations. The savings made can be used for other sustainability initiatives.  (Outdoor weatherproof sign www.pdfeducationsupplies.com.au
