It's Back To School Time!

Here are some suggestions on how to go back to school and be kind to the environment.

-Simply buy less and buy smart

• Look around your home for supplies.
• Wait to shop for supplies until after the first day, so you are only buying items on the list.
• Avoid buying impulse or trendy items that are likely to be prematurely discarded.
• BYOB-bring your own bag when shopping!

-Look for PVC free items; see the PVC Free Guide for more information.

-Buy supplies made of a high percentage of post-consumer recycled material.
 
-Pack litterless lunches with fresh, healthy, local/organic foods.
  
-Look for used copies of textbooks.

-Shop for clothes at second-hand stores or hold stuff swaps with other families or on campus.

-If new electronic items are needed check the guide to greener electronics, and be sure to responsibly dispose of or recycle the old equipment.

-BYOB-Bring your own bottle everywhere, Story of Bottled Water.

-Walk with or encourage your children to use active transportation to school.
 
-If you do drive your child, avoid idling. Contact Climate Change Connection for a FREE Idle Free Zone sign and presentation.

-Consider joining/forming an environmental group or club.
