The Australian Sustainable Schools Initiative
The Australian Sustainable School Initiative is a program funded by the Commonwealth, brokered by State/Territory Governments and delivered by schools. In the case of the ACT DECCEW is the responsible agency. The program involves the school community in developing and adopting energy, water, waste and biodiversity initiatives that are considered as a priority for that community. Presently 114 of the 127 schools in the ACT have signed up to the program involving 23,000 students. Their programs range from water, waste and energy audits, environmental centres, organic gardens and participation in conferences and special events such as Earth Hour and environmental expos.
