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.
