Merici College Green Tip #34: Have you got used makeup packaging, toothbrushes and paste tubes?

Reducing waste is an important sustainability promoting action.  

This Greentip is a reminder that your used oral care products can still be dropped off at Student Services in the boxes provided to be recycled by Terracycle.

Toothpaste tubes and caps, toothbrushes, interdental brushes, and floss containers are all accepted.

As is your makeup packaging including shadow and powder trays, lip gloss tubes, concealer tubes and sticks, mascara tubes, and lotion dispensers.

Merici College Green Tip #30 - It's National Biodiversity Month

September is National Biodiversity Month.

Biodiversity is the variety of all life forms on earth – the different plants, animals and micro-organisms, and the ecosystems that are their homes.

Here at Merici we are continuing with the Biodiversity Restoration and Re-Wilding Project. 

Why does this matter?

Australia is one of a group of only 17 ‘mega-diverse’ countries. These mega-diverse countries cover less than 10% of the world’s area but have more than 70% of its biodiversity.
