Registrations Now Open for the Re-thinking Waste in Schools Challenge
The Re-thinking Waste in Schools Challenge is about students and teachers working together to reduce their impact on the environment and is open to all schools in the Territory. Schools can choose to undertake one or many of the suggested project ideas or they can develop their own in the categories of Sustainability, Recycling, Litter Reduction, Energy Reduction and Water Reduction.
Re-thinking Waste Strategy
The Environment, Heritage and the Arts Division is currently working with key partners to develop a long term waste management framework for the Northern Territory.
The 2007 Re-thinking Waste Disposal Behaviour and Resource Efficiency Interim Action Plan aims to:
- Identify effective incentives for appropriate disposal behaviour in the Northern Territory
- Identify opportunities to maximise resource efficiency and minimise environmental impacts in the Northern Territory
- Establish a sustainable resource-not-waste management framework and effective implementation mechanisms
- Promote greater awareness of resource efficiency issues in the Northern Territory
