Going back to school is an exciting time because everything's new —
teachers, fellow students, supplies. However, it's not very green to buy
a whole new package of markers when last year's set works just fine. In
addition to reusing old supplies, we've got a great list of ways to be
as green as can be in the new school year.
- Ride your bike or walk to school.
- Use last year's school supplies.
- Buy a canvas and cardboard binders instead of plastic.
- Buy recycled paper.
- Use reusable water bottles instead of plastic.
- Use a lunch box, not paper bags.
- Donate last year's clothes instead of throwing them away.
- Buy online to avoid driving.
- Buy organic food.
- Turn your computer off when you're not using it.
- Decorate your lunchbox.
- Make your own bookmarks.
- Organize a clothes swap with your friends.
- Carpool to sports.
- Use refillable pens and pencils.
- Reuse your backpack. Decorate it with cool patches.
