ZACH, Tamika and Emma at the Little Poppets Childcare Centre in Sydenham were full of smiles while they recycled last week.
Youngsters at the centre have been learning about food waste and the importance of composting through their worm farms, a vegetable patch and recycling systems. Other residents have been encouraged to learn how to help the environment during Planet Ark’s National Recycling Week, from 11 to 17 November.
Brimbank City Council will host a free workshop called Love Leftovers on Saturday 16 November at the Westvale Community Centre in St Albans between 10am-12.30pm.
The event will take a look at food waste and teach participants about portion sizes, ways of storing food and how fridge and freezers work more efficiently.
