This week, in honor of the passing of my father-in-law, who was an amazing Headmaster at Manlius Pebble Hill School in New York, we are going to focus on one of his missions - to green schools!
It may feel overwhelming to think about how to green a whole school, especially as a parent, but there are always simple steps.
The first this week is to find out if your child's school recycles. If not, meet with the principle or head to ask about consideration of including recycling receptacles throughout the school for cans, bottles, and paper.
The California Bright Schools Program serves as a valuable resources for helping schools to start.
For today, just focus on recycling. If your child's school does not have or can't adopt a recycling program, then encourage your child to bring any paper or bottles he or she uses during the day home so you can recycle those items at home.
