Have you checked your Recyclebank account recently? You’ve likely accumulated lots of points just by putting out your recycling on trash day. Now what? A good option is to contribute them to Recyclebank's Green Schools Program. Participating schools get $1 for each 250 points donated. There are 21 Philadelphia schools with proposals in the program this year, including 

  • Saul High School, “The Eco Equine Experience: Horse Manure from Pollution to Product”
  • C.W. Henry School, “Single Stream School-Wide Recycling” 
  • J.S. Jenks School, “Full Circle: Turning food waste into garden produce”
  • John B. Kelly School, “Kelly Grows Greener”
  • Springside Chestnut Hill Academy, “Water Bottle Filling Stations”
  • Waldorf School, “Biodynamics Taking Root”
  • Germantown Friends School, “Exploring Sustainable Farming”

Go to www.recyclebank.com/contest for more information and to learn how to donate your points. The deadline for donating points is March 15.
