Several schools have been aggressively ensuing green practices for several years and have acquired some terrific output. When you are quiet asking yourself, what can my local school do to become greener, let me offer these points to public parents, operations, teachers and administrators folks as a small list of things you can do tomorrow to green up your school. Once you classify the big sources of garbage, you can begin to tackle the problem and work to eliminate as more of that as possible. One of the largest sources is tableware, or much specifically, the plates, bowls, containers and cutlery that take thrown out each day from cafeteria or another food service locations. Eliminating this bulky and long-way trash problem goes a long term toward "greening up" some operation. Other large source of trash, the type that is unsightly on streets and in parks is the proverbial coffee cup lid. There are presently compostable coffee cup lids, made from sugar cane and other fibers that will compost in a commercial compost facility in as small as 60 days. This cannot be a problem at the public elementary school, but it definitely is on a college campus, with students trying to stay up late to cram for finals.
