The Roberts Creek Community Association implemented reusable food service dishware at the Roberts Creek Community Hall to prevent the generation of single use items. This included table ware and servicing dishes for community events, coffee and tea stations. This resource is available to anyone who rents the facility.

Langdale Elementary School now provides hot lunches using reusable dishes thanks to WRIP funding. With the help of parent volunteers, student lunches no longer generate 100s of disposable cups, plates and cutlery.

Gibsons Elementary School and Kinnikinnick Elementary School started paper towel composting projects to prevent compostable paper towels from being thrown in the landfill.

Sunshine Coast Alternative School turned materials that would have go to waste into art to be appreciated in the community. Students learned about rethinking what needs to be waste and shared their creativity and messaging in the community.

Chatelech Secondary School reduced it's reliance on disposable white board markers by investing in reusable, refillable and repairable white board markers.
