From "The Green Life" at Sierra Club
Summer vacation is winding down, which means it's time to prepare for new teachers, new classes, and new friends. This week we'll provide green tips for going back to school.
Tip #1: Avoid Impulse Purchases
Before you're dazzled by a super-sized pack of highlighters (on sale!) or a fancy eraser set, take stock of the school supplies you already have. Sturdy items like folders and backpacks can often be reused for several years. And chances are, you already have an ample supply of pens and pencils in your family's catch-all drawer. Come to the store armed with a list so you won't be tempted to buy things you don't need.
