Children’s Services use large amounts of consumables such as power, water, art/craft materials, paper, food etc. They also generate a considerable amount of waste.
Your service needs information about ways to minimise wastage and promote sustainable practice. All Educators have been asked to contribute at a staff meeting. Research and provide information on one type of sustainable practice that you could share at the staff meeting?

Sustainable Practice
Name of Source:
(What publication, website or documents did you use)
Information points to share at staff meeting :They share lots of things at the staff meeting about Recycling, using gray water, compost bin, turn of taps and turn of lights to reserve the energy.

My assessor tell me that You are required to find a resource ( publication, website or document) linked to sustainable practices within early childhood and research and provide information on one type of sustainable practice from this to share at the staff meeting- Please ensure this is different to the website listed in Q5 (B) -You have not readdressed this question.

But I can;t understand that what will be the answer?

Please someone help me because its my last attempt.

Thanks Lorina
