Friday Quickie: Don’t Overbuy for Back to School

Back to school… Back to school…

(Those were the days…)

Make your students’  journey back to school a sustainable one. This year, practice the 3 R’s: Reduce. Reuse. Recycle.

Reduce: Ignore those “back to school” lists of things to buy. Take a house inventory to see what supplies you still have.

Reuse: Try to reuse backs of old papers to make ‘recycled paper’ notebooks.

Recycle: When you need to buy supplies, buy recycled products.

Readers, what are you doing to green your students’ back to school journey?
