Environmental Awareness in Schools

Big topic. Do we promote environmental awareness we'll enough in our schools? Are we setting a bad example with our wasteful ways?

Recently I have joined my local PTA as Environmental Chair. I get the opportunity to put my passion for the planet to good use!  Here are some examples of things you could suggest to your local PTA Environmental Chair:

Terracycle: They collect items like Capri Sun packages and lunchable packaging.  They also collect chip bags, cans, and plastic bottles.  They literally have a brigade for everything. My favorite so far has got to be The Red Solo Cup Brigade since that seems to a common party item that ends up in our landfills instead of being repurposed for another use.

State PTA website: Provides information on the programs you can implement in your school.

Paper Retriever: Recycle your paper!!!  :-)

Happy Recycling! Don't forget tomorrow November 15th is America Recycles Day so join in and do your part!
