Instagram post 2238195503408251977_351128482 On the big screen in the MPR at Whistler Secondary School last week talking with our future eco-ambassadors! We covered a range of topics including: 🌎The difference between biodegradable and compostable 🌎Shifting our focus to refusal and reduction where possible 🌎Saying NO to straws, plastics bags, water bottles, coffee cups and ALL single-use plastics 🌎Ride sharing, biking, and taking the bus even after students have the freedom to drive on their own 🌎Repairing or mending items to keep them from landfill 🌎Stop. Think. Sort. Because there is no such thing as away . After 12 incredible audiences of combined classes grade 8-12, we think it’s safe to say we’re in pretty good hands.♻️✅ . #lovethisplacereduceyourwaste #zerowasteworkshops #zerowasteheroes #reducereuserecycle #littlethingswhistler #awarewhistler #zeroinonwaste #strawwars strawwarswhistler #ecowarriors #reuseitorloseit #whistlercommunitybuilders
