ABSTRACT
This case study describes how the School of Environmental Studies used the issue of food waste to kick start its shift to whole school sustainability. Readers will learn how the school’s principal overcame a series of barriers to implement a schoolwide, student-led food waste reduction project, and how this project provided the momentum to develop a sustainability strategic plan. They will also learn about additional steps the school is taking to further embed whole school sustainability into its operations, culture, and curriculum and ensure all students have access to rich environmental and sustainability experiences.
