Kick Off the School Year With Eco-Friendly Choices
A greener school year starts with eco-friendly choices that reduce waste and conserve resources! Small changes can make a big impact.
- Pack a Planet-Friendly Lunch
se reusable lunchboxes, snack bags, and water bottles instead of single-use plastics. Choose healthy, package-free snacks and compost food scraps when possible. - Choose Sustainable School Supplies
Before buying new, reuse what you have! Check last year’s notebooks, folders, and backpacks first. When shopping, opt for recycled paper, refillable pens, and eco-friendly materials to minimize waste. - Get to School the Green Way
Walking, biking, or carpool instead of driving solo. Taking the bus is also a great way to cut emissions and save fuel while getting to school efficiently. - Shop Smart for Back-to-School
Be mindful of what you buy. Choose durable, high-quality items that will last, and consider shopping at second-hand stores for clothes, backpacks, and supplies to reduce waste and save money. - Waste Less This School Year
Small habits make a difference! Use both sides of paper, avoid plastic-wrapped supplies, and recycle whenever possible. Encourage classmates and teachers to adopt sustainable habits, too.
