1. Use a Reusable Water Bottle

Instead of buying a new plastic bottle of water every day, use a reusable water bottle that you can fill up at home. 

2. Pack a Waste-Free Lunch

Packing a lunch that doesn't create a lot of trash is a great way to help the Earth! Try using a reusable lunchbox and containers instead of plastic bags and wraps.

3. Bring Reusable Utensils

If you’re packing a lunch with things like yogurt or fruit salad, remember to pack reusable utensils! Instead of using plastic forks and spoons, bring your own set made of metal or bamboo.

4. Go Paperless When You Can

If you have a tablet, laptop, or computer at school, try using digital assignments instead of printing out papers.This way, you can save paper and help save trees!

5. Walk or Ride Your Bike to School

If your school is close to home, why not walk or ride your bike? It’s fun and great for the planet! Walking or biking instead of driving helps reduce pollution and gives you exercise, too.

6. Reuse Old Supplies

Before you buy new school supplies every year, take a look at what you already have! 

7. Turn Off Lights and Electronics

When you leave the classroom or the school library, remember to turn off the lights and any electronics. This saves energy and helps reduce your school’s carbon footprint.

By making a few small changes, you can have an eco-friendly school day and help the planet at the same time.
