Our first sustainable garden bed was the
result of our Sustainability Leaders (years 7 to 11) involvement in
the “Start the Switch” program.
Commencing with a two day Summit, (hosted by
the Australian Youth Climate Coalition (AYCC), the City of Greater Geelong
and the Barwon Regional Waste Management Group in August 2013), the program was
designed to take students on a journey of discovery, understanding, inspiration
and action.
Together with mentor Tegan Whitten (AYCC), the group utilised Buildscape services and Cunningham Plumbing services to assist with the ‘de-commission’ of the water trough station, the implementation of the new tank and its transformation into a dual purpose sustainable garden bed and drinking station. |
