Green Tip of the Week
Green Tip of the Week for 30 August 2010
Don’t throw metals cans and metal objects in the trash. Recycle them through your community recycling program or local scrap dealer. Recycling metal saves energy. Making aluminum from scrap aluminum saves 95% of the energy needed to produce new aluminum from raw materials. You may get cash back too.

Educators, please review the District's Education Programs for this school year and plan accordingly. Mark reminders on your calendar for contest entries and environmental-based holidays to celebrate with your students.
