Prsrt Std U.S. POSTAGE PAID Permit # 2325 San Diego, CA 7468 Wellington Way San Diego, CA 92111 This Month’s Living Green Tips Living Green in School School is in session and there are many ways to make a difference in the environment. Follow these tips to help you conserve this school year! • Getting a new computer or other electronics for school? Make sure to purchase energy efficient models. • Use reusable lunch bags for children to take their lunch in. Pack healthy fruits and vegetables instead of prepackaged snacks and a reusable water bottle or thermos for them to take their drinks in instead of prepackaged drinks. • Academic paper use generates mountains of waste. Choose processed chlorine free (PCF) paper, avoiding releases of dioxin and mercury in the bleaching process, and the highest percentage of recycled post-consumer waste (PCW) available. • Choosing refillable pens and pencils will not only save on waste, but will also save your wallet! • Use solar powered calculators instead of those with batteries. • If clothes still fit, encourage children to wear the old pieces and just mix in a few new pieces instead of buying all new clothes. If they no longer fit, donate them to a charity where someone will be able to use them. • Cover school books in paper instead of plastic. Not only will it protect children’s books, it will be environmentally friendly and they can decorate it to fit their own personal style. • As always, set a good example for your children by reducing, reusing, and recycling! It will make a difference! • Speak with school administrators about planting a tree or flowers on school grounds that children can watch grow all year. • Get together with your neighbors and create a carpool. • If your child’s school is nearby and your child is old enough, encourage them to ride their bike. • When parked and waiting for your child after school, turn off your ignition. Every 30 minutes of idling costs you nearly one-tenth of a gallon of fuel and produces 29 oz. of carbon dioxide. Printed on recycled paper and made in the USA
