For many students, the unwelcome return to school is often sweetened with a shopping trip for school supplies and new clothes. Not anymore.
As college, high school and grade school students begin returning to classes, the Environmental Protection Agency is urging students to use recycled material, even garbage, for their supplies and to shop at thrift stores for “retro fashions.”
And don’t even think about taking more than one napkin or salt packet in the lunch line.
Students, parents, and teachers can all make a difference in reducing waste at school. By practicing the "3 Rs" of waste reduction-reduce, reuse, and recycle-we can all do our part.
