Straight from Bonobo Kids, here’s a list of simple ways to go back to school eco-friendly style! Remeber every green action you take at your home, helps the bonobos in their home.

1. When shopping for school supplies, buy recycled paper and notebooks.

2. Go hemp, go organic. Did you know that you can get just about anything made from sustainable materials like hemp and organic cotton? This ranges from backpacks, clothes, shoes, hats, toys, stuffed animals…you name it!

3. Say no to plastic. Reusable, cloth food bags are the perfect solution to plastic sandwich and snack bags.

4. Start a school garden. With the help of a science or home ec teacher, this is very doable. They can work it into the curriculum because gardening involves science, math, cooking, reading, writing and the social sciences. Then you can learn AND eat local (and delicious). For more info, please contact us.

5. Walk, ride or carpool to school. This is an easy one that we know you understand! Save gas, reduce polution, help the environment…oh, and if you’re walking or riding - get some exercise!!!

Don’t forget to tell us all about your efforts, we love to hear from you!
