SUPPORT YOUR KIDS KONSERVE WASTE-FREE LUNCH CHALLENGE & CUSTOM BOTTLE DRIVE WITH THESE ACTIVITIES

Start a Green Team: Put your 4th and 5th graders to work at lunch time. Have them show the little ones where to put their recycle and compost items, while teaching them how to pack a waste-free lunch.

Trash-Free Tuesday: Set a goal of zero-waste from school lunches each Tuesday. Have the Green Team give a short presentation to introduce Trash-Free Tuesday to each classroom and incorporate things they can do to help the environment. Remove some of the garbage cans around campus – you just might be amazed.

One day of lunch time trash from a school of 300 students.

FACT: A lunch packed with reusable items is typically 45% less expensive and contains 89% less waste than a lunch packed with single-use items.

Talk to your cafeteria about how they can help, i.e. start compost scraps and the Green Team can take them to the compost pile. Click here for composting information.
- FACT: If 400 students (the average size school) recycle AND compost their table scraps, this is a carbon savings of 80 cars taken off the road. Source: StopWaste.org
Green Kid of the Month/Week: Have teachers, parents and students nominate students who have made a difference by doing something Green. Honor them by the giving them a Kids Konserve stainless steel water bottle for an extra perk!
First Fridays: dedicate the First Friday of each month to turning in old batteries, cell phones and printer cartridges. These items are hard to dispose of and are toxic to our oceans and landfills. Check with your local sanitation department or go to Earth 911, www.Earth911.com, for ways to dispose of them. Some sanitation departments even give money back to the school in exchange for the items. Add to the fun by getting your local coffee house to donate coffee and bagels – FREE to all who bring their reusable coffee mug!

FACT: Ink Cartridges can take up to 450 years to decompose. Next time you buy, go with refilled cartridges, which work just like conventional cartridges and cost up to 75% less than new ones!
Having a hard time getting teacher and students to participate? Idea! Have your Principal dye his/her hair GREEN for the day once your school’s goal of going waste-free has been met. It works they did it at the Hopi School in Phoenix.
