This is something that we stress to our children at SMPCW. We compost our food scraps, use cloth napkins, reusable bowls, utensils and cups at snack time and recycle paper goods as much as we can.
Our desire to reduce our carbon footprint doesn’t stop at the school. All of our paper goods for the auction are from World Centric. A California based company who’s mission is to …reduce economic injustice and environmental degradation through education, community networks, and sustainable enterprises. From their website:
World Centric provides high quality compostable food service disposables and food packaging products for use in schools, corporate cafeterias, restaurants, hospitals, parties etc. Our products are made annually renewable resources like corn, sugarcane, and wheat straw fiber. Sugar cane and wheat straw fiber are also discarded by-products of the agriculture industry and we are using this discarded fiber to make sustainable alternatives to plastics and styrofoam.
With that in mind, we are urging all of our guests at Imaginarium to be conscious of their use of our paper products, cans and bottles. We will have clearly labeled recycling containers throughout the venue to make your opportunities to recycle at our event easy! You will be amazed how a little bit of recycling goes a long way!
Lets leave this earth in good condition for our children, and grandchildren!
