This Month’s Living Green Tips
Living Green in School
School is in session and there are many ways to make a difference in the environment.
Follow these tips to help you conserve this school year!
•
Getting a new computer or other electronics for school? Make sure to purchase energy efficient models.
•
Use reusable lunch bags for children to take their lunch in. Pack healthy fruits and vegetables instead of prepackaged snacks and a
reusable water bottle or thermos for them to take their drinks in instead of prepackaged drinks.
•
Academic paper use generates mountains of waste. Choose processed chlorine free (PCF) paper, avoiding releases of dioxin and
mercury in the bleaching process, and the highest percentage of recycled post-consumer waste (PCW) available.
•
Choosing refillable pens and pencils will not only save on waste, but will also save your wallet!
•
Use solar powered calculators instead of those with batteries.
•
