Waste Education Program popular among Western Downs schools and residents

EnviroCom delivered twenty-six classes and three workshops in one week, as part of Western Downs Regional Council’s annual School and Community Outreach Program targeting Waste Education.

In March 2013, EnviroCom visited schools throughout the Western Downs region to deliver a series of in-class waste minimisation lessons, tailored to fit with curriculum and key learning areas.  EnviroCom also delivered three community composting and worm farming workshops, to engage community members in simple ways to practise waste minimisation at home and reduce the amount of organic waste sent to landfill.   Schools and residents who took part in the outreach responded positively to the interactive nature of the program, providing extremely encouraging verbal and written feedback to the EnviroCom facilitator.
