Drinking Water

How Green is your Canteen?
The Central Coast Green Canteen Challenge organised by Rumbalara Environmental Education Centre is about reducing the single-use plastic footprint in our schools and championing plastic free canteens. The aim is to help school canteens reduce and remove single-use plastic items, and replacing them with reusable or sustainable items.
Take up the challenge and find out how green your canteen can be.
