Here are a few ways you can help the planet this school year...Remember, every litter bit helps!
- Reuse backpacks, and containers for school items, sports items instead of buying new ones.
- Use up last year's school supplies before you replace them
- Take your lunch in a reusable lunch box, or cloth bag instead of paper bags
.. - Recycle any packaging in your lunch box.
- Pack a cloth napkin instead of
paper napkin. You can reuse it! Just count all your school days...that's how many paper napkins you saved. - Cover your books in recycled paper bags or wrap... decorate them yourself, they could look fun and you might start a trend!
- Use the reverse side of scrap paper for your first drafts of writing, art
and math projects. - Keep a "craft box" of discards you think might be handy for class projects during the year...mark it "my craft box" so
no-one will mistake it for trash! Keep things like empty yogurt containers, elastics, stringetc ...that might interesting and useful for your art. - Take the bus or
Car-pool with friends...have your moms take turns...It's fun to go to school in groups and you save lots of gas!. - Remember masks, use reusable ones!
