If food waste were a country, it would be the world's third largest emitter of greenhouse gases, behind the U.S. and China.
I was astounded to hear this last week at the Q&A session with the Director of the film 2040. In Australia up to 40% of the waste in an average household bin is food (Foodwise). Rotting food emits methane, a gas that is twenty-five times more warming in the atmosphere than carbon dioxide.

On Monday 13 May, 12 of our students were invited to Daramalan College to attend a Q & A with Damon Gameau about his new film 2040.
2040 is an innovative feature documentary that looks to the future, but is vitally important NOW. Award-winning director Damon Gameau (That Sugar Film) embarks on journey to explore what the future could look like by the year 2040 if we simply embraced the best solutions already available to us to improve our planet and shifted them rapidly into the mainstream.
Year 8 Students Charly Robinson and Lexie Young represented Merici at the recent Snowy Mountains Interschools Competition (SMIEC) at Jindabyne. Both girls put in solid performances on all 4 days with Charly winning and placing in the 1m and 1.10m showjumping as well as gaining the overall top score in the Stockman's Challenge.
They represented Merici with pride and presented themselves and their horses beautifully.
We congratulate Charly and Lexie on their achievements.
Following a recent conversation with a staff member it has been suggested that the following information from "The War on Waste" would be useful. It’s a 3 minute film clip.
