Kids are gearing up for their return to the classroom. Parents and kids alike are hard at work compiling their lists of school supplies so they can be ready to go for that first day of class. This is a great chance for parents to educate their children about the environment and how even the little things, such as buying environmentally-friendly school supplies, can really add up to make a positive impact. 1- Avoid disposable products: Purchase reusable products, and it can start with school supplies. Pentel Recycology writing instruments, including pens, pencils, markers and highlighters, are refillable, reducing their impact on the nation's landfills. Buy recycled paper products: such as calendars, notebooks, and folders They help save the wood, water and energy, while reducing pollution and solid waste. Make going green a year-round lesson: The emphasis on going green during back to school season is a lesson that doesn't have to end once parents have purachased their kids'school supplies.Rather, back to school shopping could simply be a great starting point for parents hoping to instill a sense of environmental responsibility in their children.
