Ultimo College celebrated National Recycling Week with the BIG Precinct Swap on Thursday 10 November @ Ultimo TAFE Library. The idea being that you could swap items (such shoes, hats, beanies, mobile phones, batteries, glasses and clothing) that you no longer needed and in return select items that you wanted from a vast array of items
Activities included:
- Workshops – knitting a penguin jumper (to send to the oil affected NZ birds)
- sewing a shoulder bag (made from flags)
- crocheting Xmas decorations
- Screenings of the award winning documentary film “Waste Not”
- Exhibits
- BBQ
This event was organised in collaboration with the Ultimo Environmental Team QUEST, the Ultimo Student Association and precinct neighbours UTS and the ABC. Below are a selection of images from the Big Swap 2011
