Waste Free Lunch Challenge

Join our Waste Free Lunch Challenge EVERY WEDNESDAY during the summer term.

The Whitestone Eco Team challenge all children and teachers to reduce the amount of waste created at lunchtimes. 

They have weighed how much food waste and non-recyclable waste is produced during the lunch period. The team think that we can all reduce it.
