Manningham's Sustainability Education Centre will deliver programs that enable all parts of the community to live more sustainably. Activities include practical educational workshops on waste, energy and innovative food production, delivered to schools through excursions and whole community workshops. The centre will house a plastics recycling plant, robotic farming, solar power, a coffee grounds repurposing facility, solar energy system and STEM lab to support sustainability innovation. Visitors to the centre can bring their recyclables and produce reusable products that reduce their waste and participate in informative and active sessions that equip them to practice sustainability in their own context.
The average Australian produces 200kg of food waste every year and over 100kg of plastic waste. Only 7% is recycled. We are also one of the largest contributors to CO2 emissions.
The Sustainability Education Centre not only educates all sectors of the community on the importance and benefits of sustainability, but engages them in practical sustainability innovations and activity such as doing their own recycling, which will have the net effect of reducing the waste and litter in our community. This will also influence values and future behaviors as people learn ways that they can make a positive difference.

Witnessing the increase of plastic waste consumption and debris, I think this is a great initiative to take on as a school. Not only will this help out the local community, but also educate the new generation!
