On the Elmer’s Glue Crew website, they’ve posted a 40-day calendar of eco-friendly tips and ideas that kids and parents can do together. It includes easy-to-do items like: Turn off the lights when you leave the room to conserve energy. And more challenging ideas, such as: Leave the car at home and walk everywhere today. Work together as a family to see how many things you can accomplish on the calendar!
Also on the Elmer’s Glue Crew site, you can also read about how students and teachers can get involved in recycling their glue bottles at Walmart. Teachers can download an academic planning calendar, lesson plans and other recycling-related materials. There’s even the opportunity to win great prizes for the classroom!

ReplyDeleteBefore you toss something in the trash,
consider how you might be able to
reuse it. For example, an empty tissue
box becomes a great plastic bag
dispenser and old sheets can be used
as dropcloths for painting or blankets
for the beach.
