So far this term, LEAF has made $85 selling popcorn at the UWCSEA Staff's Got Talent show, which will go to planting 17 trees. The popcorn was homemade and the bags for it were made from recycled magazines and newspaper.
An update on UN Night - we are going for no-plastics rather than no-waste, and focus our efforts on this.
We will either rent cutlery from the school canteen (Sodexo), or use biodegradable cutlery - such as cornstarch or wood. For plates and bowls we will supply either banana leafs or paper. Both the cutlery and plates/bowls will be available at each stall.
But most importantly we are strongly advertising guests to bring their own cutlery and food containers because this is the most sustainable option.
