EASY WAYS TO REDUCE WASTE IN YOUR SCHOOL
Schools can be a hotbed for accumulating waste. Every year parents, teachers, and students purchase new supplies, lose old ones, and throw away tons of school materials. This creates waste and results in unnecessary expenses. But we can make a difference if we all pay a little more attention to reducing our waste. Keep reading to learn about resources and tips to reduce waste at school.
Make The Great Outdoors Your Classroom
To teach students about the importance of our outdoor environment and how to take care of Texas, you need access to appealing and informative curriculum. With that in mind, we’ve compiled a list of education tools and resources for you to engage your students in learning about the outdoors, conservation, green living, and more.
ENGAGE STUDENTS IN BIKE TO SCHOOL DAY
 Vehicles emit a variety of air pollutants. But when families decide to lace up their sneakers or strap on their bike helmets instead of driving, they can help reduce automobile emissions. If you’re looking for ways to reduce emissions, encourage your students to participate in National Bike to School Day.
