Are you an elementary school, middle school, or K-8 school located in the greater Los Angeles area? Are you interested in launching a waste reduction program at your school? Good news – Grades of Green is recruiting for its 7th Annual Trash Free Lunch Challenge to inspire and empower students and school communities to be trash-free! By registering your school to participate in this free program in the upcoming school year, students will learn waste reduction habits they will carry with them for a lifetime, such as how to reduce, reuse and recycle. Schools near you have competed in the Challenge in previous years – and accomplished some great feats like:
– Inspiring and empowering entire school communities of over 500+ students to care for the environment
– Diverting an average of 72% of school lunchtime waste
– Saving thousands of dollars on waste hauler pick-ups for their schools
– Creating a community-wide environmental movement
