World Earth Day: Eco Sisters Call for Donations
To coincide with World Earth Day today, the Eco Sisters held a pop-up display in the Great Court. The purpose of their display was to remind students about the importance of recycling and what we recycle here at Santa Maria.
During Term 2, the Eco Sisters will also be collecting donations of two items:
- Plastic bottle lids – for Rethink Recycling Co-Op in partnership with Lids for Kids who make children’s toys from this plastic. The lids we are collecting can be from milk bottles, water bottles, soft drink bottles, and UHT containers.
- Sporting equipment – for Fairgame who support sport in remote communities. Items include junior football/soccer boots, AFL balls, basketballs, and soccer balls.
If you can help, students can drop off donations to the Super Lab at the College.Â
