Eco Initiatives

Boomerang Lunches, Recycling and Energy Conservation:
Our Eco Club will be busy educating our school by going from class to class and giving them feedback on how to improve their recycling and energy conservation.

At Westminster we encourage students to participate in Boomerang Lunches. A Boomerang Lunch is when students return home items from their lunch to be disposed of or recycled at home in order to reduce the contents of our garbage at school. 

We encourage students to refrain from throwing food waste in the garbage, but rather use our composters or bring their food back home to be properly disposed of in their residential compost bin. Remember, you can do your part for the environment by practicing the three R's: Reduce, Reuse and Recycle.

We are also monitoring our electricity usage.  When we are out of our classrooms we must turn off the lights to help conserve energy.  You can be more Eco friendly at home too!  Everyone can do their part to help our environment!  

As a New Year resolution what can you do to help our environment at school and at home too? Together we can make a difference and reduce our ecological footprint and improve our world. Go Westminster!
