Super Green Eco Team Meets on February 13th

During our last meeting, the Super Green Eco Team piggybacked onto the Valentines Day Bake Sale and sold our reusable coffee mugs with a free cup of donated Starbucks coffee. It was a tremendous success. We sold out of our reusable coffee mugs!
Also at this meeting, former PS40 student and now Salk student, Mack told the team about a reusing program that Salk was doing in the hopes that PS40 would join in. The program involves selling certain used items (aka garbage) such as plastic target bags, empty Kool Aid Jammers pouches to a company who turns them into usable products that are sold again. We were all very interested and will begin collecting these items at Earth Week.



Parent Eco-Team leader, Gabrielle, taught us all about microfiber cloths. We have a goal to reduce the amount of paper towels used in the classrooms. In this effort every classroom was given microfiber cloths in September and we want ot be sure all classrooms know how to use the cloths are are in fact using the cloths.


We talked about the roof garden, inspections, and various needs of the classrooms.

At our next meeting we will focus on EARTH WEEK March 9-13!!!
