Go Green for the Cafeteria Challenge!
| |
|
TODAY! Friday, November 13th
The Green Genius Cafeteria Challenge is a contest for Bellevue schools to lessen cafeteria waste through waste reduction, composting and recycling. All schools that enter will compete and receive recognition. Our goal is to have the least amount of garbage per student in the cafeteria on November 13, 2015. The top 3 elementary schools receive the "Bee Green" trophy How can I help? Pack lunch in reusable containers instead of plastic bags, individual packages and juice pouches. Instead send recyclable juice boxes, compostable bags, reusable wraps and containers. Send only what your kids will eat and encourage them to bring the leftovers home so you know how much to send. Brought to you by the Puesta del Sol Equipo Verde (Green Team)
