HEALTHY EATING IS IMPORTANT

Healthy lunches and snacks are important for

keeping active kids alert, focused and providing

them with the nutrition they need every day. Try

a combination of foods that include fresh fruit,

crunchy vegetables, protein, dairy and

WATER WISE

Pre-rinsing dishes can double your water use. Instead of rinsing your dishes before loading them into the dishwasher or sink scrape the excess food into the bin. Did you know around 30% of blockages in our wastewater system are caused by fats, oils and grease solidifying in pipes? So removing grease and food scraps from your pots, pans and dishes before you wash them also helps keep our drains happy and healthy.
