Courtesy of our friends at the J.N. “Ding” Darling Wildlife Refuge, here’s a list of helpful Green Tips for an Earth-Healthy School Year:

1. 1.   Check last year’s backpack for supplies you can repurpose this year.
   2.   Buy used books.
   3.   Shop for eco-friendly, reusable school supplies.
   4.   Take your own lunch, packaged in reusable materials.
   5.   Use a water bottle for beverages instead of plastic throw-aways.
   6.   Walk, bike, or use mass transport when possible.
   7.   If you do drive, turn off your car in front of the school while waiting.
   8.   Tell your children why you are making green choices; teach them the value of recycling and being earth-friendly!
