P.M.’s waste paper used
PA Wellington The Prime Minister’s office sends a carton of A 4 paper a week to be recycled at Te Aro school in Wellington.
The school used the paper for duplicating class worksheets and notices to parents, said the principal, Mr Peter Kohing. “We don’t even take notice of what’s on it — we’re just interested in being able to use it,” he said.
Te Aro school was chosen because of a personal contact in the office with a teacher from there. '
The school had received the Prime Minister’s wastepaper for two months, a spokesperson for his office said. AU ministerial offices were being encouraged to “adopt” one or. , two. schools that * they - could send their wastepaper to. put in a tender
last week for some Education Ministry letterheads, originally worth $4OOO, that were to be scrapped because of a printing mistake. The $2O tender was unsuccessful and the Ministry recycled them into memo pads. Schools had been using recycled paper for years but it was becoming more important because of budget cuts, Mr Kohing said.
