Due to run this coming September, the Carnival attracts thousands of people from across the local community and wider Northern Beaches, who come to eat, drink, play games and connect with friends and neighbours. Unfortunately, in common with many events of its kind, this brings with it the potential to create a big environmental footprint, particularly in the form of single use foodware that often ends up in landfill.<\/p>\n<p>As chair of the school\u2019s P&amp;C environment committee, that\u2019s something I didn\u2019t want to continue under my watch! Tireless research by the environment team identified a great service offering from <a href=\"https:\/\/pak360.com.au\/\">Pak360<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wasteninja.com.au\/\">Waste Ninja<\/a> who, for a small increase in the cost compared to conventional items, will supply compostable foodware. They will also be providing special bins that will be used on site for the day and then taken away for processing in an industrial composting unit.<\/p>\n<p>To help make the change a \u201cno-brainer\u201d, Edge\u2019s \u201cMake More Good\u201d donation this month is helping to cover the costs associated with the foodware and the creation of an all-new \u201crecycling station\u201d at the Carnival. Hopefully the outcome will be a very significant reduction in the event\u2019s waste footprint, as well as some great educational value for students, parents, and the wider community.<\/p>\n<p>While all of our donations are made to align with Edge\u2019s mission, it\u2019s also nice to have the opportunity to invest in sustainability initiatives in our local community. It\u2019s wonderful that the organisers have approached the idea with such an open mind. I look forward to seeing it in action next month.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-11069 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/edgeenvironment.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/waste-ninja.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"127\" height=\"127\" srcset=\"https:\/\/edgeenvironment.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/08\/waste-ninja.png 200w, https:\/\/edgeenvironment.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/08\/waste-ninja-150x150.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 127px) 100vw, 127px\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-11073 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/edgeenvironment.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/pak360-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"190\" height=\"128\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Edge Environment\u2019s monthly \u2018Make More Good\u2019 donation sends $300 to a worthy cause nominated by a staff member.
