If you eat sushi...
But don't want to contribute to the single use plastic problem.....
You can take your own container and set of re-usable chopsticks with you when you know you are planning to order sushi!
You could also take some soy sauce in a container from home and say "no" to the plastic soy sauce fish.
Enjoy!

At Merici College, we are proud of the positive impact evidence-based teaching practice is having in the classrooms.
Have you ever thought about this?
THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS 'AWAY'. WHEN YOU THROW ANYTHING AWAY IT MUST GO SOMEWHERE.
For the time being you can make sure that some of your "waste" goes somewhere useful.
Bring your used oral care products, make-up product packaging and unrepairable stockings to the collection boxes in Student Services.
Also, please prepare your clean, unwanted clothing for donation to the annual Sw(op) shop in Term 4, Tuesday November 7th.
CLIMATE CHANGERS is Tim Flannery’s search for leadership on climate change.
Where are the leaders who will drive change? Are they strong enough to triumph where others have failed?
Tim poses these questions as he meets leaders past and present in the hope of finding answers.
Climate change is humanity’s greatest challenge. This film delves into what frustrates Tim, what motivates him, and where he believes the solutions lie.
