Our Eco-School
Visit the official Roy H.Crosby Eco-School website here!...
Join us as we work together to make Roy H. Crosby a gold certified environmentally friendly school this year! We are promoting the reduction of waste, the recycling of products, the reusage of resources and rethinking of our way of life.
Do YOUR part to help YOUR school and YOUR world. Bring a LITTERLESS lunch everyday and don't forget your recyclable container if you want to purchase popcorn from the Crosby snack shack.
TIP’S FOR PACKING A LITTERLESS LUNCH
- Buy in bulk. (avoid pre-packaged “convenience" foods)
- Pack sandwiches, cut up fruits and vegetables, crackers, cookies, yogurt, cheese and other items in reusable containers.
- Use a refillable juice container. Juice boxes, pouches, or cans cannot be resealed and any excess is just thrown away.
- If plastic baggies are used make sure they are re-used. Avoid plastic wrap and aluminum foil.
- Use everyday cutlery from home instead of buying plastic. If plastic is used make sure it is re-used.
- Pack everything in a reusable lunch bag or box. Children can then repack uneaten food perhaps to be had later instead of just tossing it into the school’s garbage.
- Remind your kids to use the Recycling boxes provided at the
school for any recyclable items.
