I know the whole notion of going green can be overwhelming. What choices do I make? What does it really mean to live a green lifestyle? And with school starting soon, what is it that I can do to help my kids or our students in this arena?

One of the biggest steps you can take is to eliminate the one use items in your child’s lunch…or yours for that matter! With drinking boxes and sandwich bags and disposable single-serve items, the waste can really add up over the course of a school year. We have a fantastic stainless steel lunch bundle that eliminates the waste and is completely plastic, BPA, lead, and aluminum free.

In this week’s article, Sarita Douglas talks about 10 simple things our schools can do to become more green. From simply changing out their light bulbs to reducing paper product consumption and creating a school garden, the possibilites are easy, educational, and fun! By getting the green education in place and watching our future generation in action, we can all become inspired to do our part. I have this awesome vision of our kids coming home and teaching the adults how easy it is to live green.

The school season is almost here and I’m excited! We live in a time where green opportunities abound. Imagine all the possibilities that we can do both individually and together to make for a happier, healthier planet. What a great way to start off the school year. We also have an extensive selection of Back to School items to help our kids get a great green start.

Have a great green day!
