RRE is going GREEN
|
This year the faculty, staff, and students of RRE have made the commitment to live "greener" lives. Each month we will embrace a green habit. By working together and taking small steps we can make a major difference.
RRE is now participating in the Terracycle program. For every drink pouch or Nabisco cookie wrapper we recycle we earn money for our school. What could be better than saving the planet and earning money for it? Please save these items and send them to RRE with your student or pack these items in their lunches and snacks. |

Pack Eco-friendly Lunches and Snacks
|
It's easy to pack environmentaly friendly lunches and snacks. Follow these simple tips:
*Use reusable containers instead of ziplock bags
*Bring a water bottle or thermos instead of box drinks
*Use cloth napkins instead of paper (wash clothes work great for napkins and can be purchased for cheap)
*Use a lunch box or bag instead of a paper or plastic bag |
