Wastewise Audit

In Week 3 we had a Wastewise Audit.  Shelley, our Auckland Council facilitator came with plastic containers and bags and scales and we set up  in our undercover area to see how much waste we had generated in a week.  We had saved all our food scraps, paper recycling and other waste so we could measure it.  Collecting food waste for a week in the middle of summer was not such a good idea!.  We were greeted with squirming maggots and horrible smells.  The whole school took part in the audit and we now have some figures we can use to base our future waste wise goals.
