Catalog Canceling – Great Eco Initiative

Cberman — Wed, 10 Feb 2010 15:36:15 +0000

This morning I came across Ted Wells’ blog about schools who are canceling catalogs across the country. Its quite staggering to see how much paper and trees can be saved by having a class or green team undertake such a simple initiative.

You can check out Ted’s blog at http://www.parkschool.org/blogs/ted_wells/home/

Definitely a model that can be easily replicated. Could work as a great Earth Day initiative this year!

Cheers,

Green Grants for Ontario Schools

Browsing the web, today we found a great site for helping green schools in Ontario. Its a program sponsored by Metro, the new grocery store that bought out Dominion and is based in Quebec. The program is donating $1,000 to 1,000 local schools who show how they are going green and purportedly have 297 schools on record.

Check out their link at http://www.greenapplegrants.ca/home.en.html. It is so vital that children understand their relation to the earth. Having an easy way to help launch a green team is so helpful. Metro should be commended for their efforts.
