Heading back to school doesn't need to create a lot of waste! Focusing on sustainable school supplies and practices will make sure that you'll broaden your mind while helping the environment!
If you're anything like me, while you love a good computer pen to paper is always a great feeling! Look for school supplies like notebooks, folders, and pens that are crafted from recycled materials!
In my school days I HATED the idea of the bus, however along with it being better for the environment than separate cars, some of my favorite highschool memories took place on the bus!
While some printing is inevitable when it comes to worksheets for kiddos and texts, as we grow older we can opt for less wasteful ways to learn! Advocating for online resources is a great way to include STEM in the classroom as well as save some trees!
