Campaign for school permaculture gardens

School Food Campaign: "We eat 4.5 lt of pesticides/herbicides per year!"

Local mum and award-winning permaculture teacher, Leonie Shanahan, is fed up ('scuse the pun) with the quality of food in Queensland schools, and has inspired Nicklin MP, Peter Wellington to take the matter to Parliament.

"Is anybody listening? How sick do our children have to become before parents, governments and multi nationals do something about it? We ingest approx 4.5 litres of pesticides & herbicides a year, 2 kg of addictives, 66 kgs of sugar....."
