Chalk it up!
Grab your pen and paper to take down these simple ways to cut back on waste for back-to-school:
* Use what you have
A half-used notebook means there is still half to fill up.
* Buy quality
Aim for what will last longer and hold on to it.
* Zero-waste lunch
Take reusable containers, utensils, & a lunch bag that comes home with you.
* Shop consciously
Bring a list and buy only what you need. Look for supplies with less packaging and no plastic. Consider thrifting for new clothes, and remember to donate old ones that don't fit.
* Get creative!
A durable backpack goes a long way, but make it unique with patches or clips that can be changed each year to go along with your student's tastes.
