 To start the school year off on a "green" foot - the only way to begin, SWANCC offers a free Informational Seminar for educators, ecology club sponsors and parent volunteers to learn about the many waste reduction and sustainability programs and resources that are available, as well as an opportunity to network with others striving to achieve similar goals.
The seminar will be held at SWANCC's Glenview office from 10 a.m. to noon and there is no cost to attend, but registration is required. Details will be posted mid-August at swancc.org.
Please forward this information to anyone in the school that is responsible for "green" initiatives. Thank you.
Have a great summer!
