Sparsholt Schools' Centre for Environmental Education

Low waste lunch challenge

Bring a healthy lunch that you will enjoy eating and that will not fill our rubbish bin with waste!

Can you take an empty lunchbox home?

Can you and your class put less rubbish in our bin than any other class to visit the Centre this term?

After lunch your waste will be weighed.

There is a prize each term for the class that produced the least waste per pupil.

Congratulations to Merdon Juniors (3S) who were our Summer term 2010 winners. The class left 0.9g of waste per person. Orchard Lea Infants Y2 (DW) were in second place with a brilliant score of just 1.3g and Heatherside Juniors 5C & 5A came third with just 2.4g of waste per person.

Once again, all of the schools in our top 10 had a score of less than 5g of waste per person. Thanks to everyone who has taken part. Your efforts do make a difference. This year your effforts have saved over 50kg of compostable waste from landfill. This has been added to our compost heaps to supply us with next years compost!
