"Schools and community groups doing the right thing for the environment by recycling and cutting waste are to be rewarded by the State Government. Environment and Conservation Minister Jay Weatherill has announced $155,000 in funding for 32 school and community group projects across the State at the start of National Recycling Week. The funding will help groups with things like compost bins, recycling sheds, garden mulchers and worm farms. “These grants are aimed at kick-starting small community projects that can make a really big difference to school communities and regional areas,” Mr Weatherill said. One of the largest schools grants, $20,394, will be presented to McLaren Vale Primary School, so students can create potting mix from green waste, to grow plants to give to older members of the local community."
