Nurturing our nature at Cumberland View

With our planet slowly choking on plastic, it is important that we acknowledge the sustainable efforts at Cumberland View Aged Care in light of World Environment Day on Monday 5 June 2023.

Our home loves to ‘recycle, upcycle and renew’ and our initiatives help to ensure that we leave the smallest carbon footprint possible. Janine Linnert, Leisure and Lifestyle Coordinator explains that the home is ‘always looking for better ways to be environmentally intelligent.’ ‘We limit our single use plastics in our kitchen and use instead bamboo or wooden utensils when required.

In our craft sessions, we reuse and repurpose many items which not only helps the environment but pushes our imaginations to their limits as to what residents can create,’ says Janine. ‘We receive donated items that would otherwise be put into landfill and repurpose them in a crafty way.’
