The Sustainability in Action! Rockhampton Region
Community Calendar showcases the wide range flowers for the bees and butterflies
of sustainability actions implemented by our local to help with pollinating our
primary and secondary schools. food gardens.”
During the year, Council runs the Schools Calendar
Competition to recognise and celebrate how
educators are actively working with students to make
connections with local action to help sustain our local
environment.
As you can see by the twelve School Sustainability
Champions featured in this calendar, our local
students are leading the way in their everyday
actions. From making reusable bags, participating in
tree planting, installing solar panels, exploring water
re-use, learning how to look after creeks, composting
to reduce food waste, litter reduction activities, and
recycling right, little actions make a big impact!
We can all learn and be inspired all year round by
the School Sustainability Champions featured in this
calendar.
“You can not get through a single day without
having an impact on the world around you.
What you do makes a difference and you have
to decide what kind of difference you want to
make.”
