The amount of single-use plastic has increased over the last year when I wasn't teaching, so I decided to tackle this issue with my class. The ākonga in my class also worked togeter with a buddy class and we are re-introducing Waste Free Wednesdays for our whole school again, lunchboxes that have no single-use plastic in it.”
