EcoSchools committee members planted various crops at school of which potatoes, rucola and carrots. Since not much soil is available on the school grounds seeds were sown in plastic cans and containers. In so doing unwanted material was re-used thus reducing landfill waste. Moreover, through this practice the students highlighted the importance of consuming local products as much as possible in order to keep one’s carbon and water footprint to a minimum.
