Caterers

Packaging & Waste
The Centre has a recycling and composting program in place in an effort to practice what we preach. Visiting schools can assist in this by focusing on the types and amounts of packaging they bring by having the children consider what is essential. This could be considered in conjunction with the development of a personal/class/school environment ethic.
