Redesign a Package

Packaging makes up a big part of our waste stream. Try to design packaging with the environment in mind.

1. Bring a litterless lunch to school. Reuse a fabric bag and reusable containers for drinks, sandwiches and snacks instead of using plastic wrap or baggies, and foil.
2. Set up a reuse box in the classroom for used pencils, pens, folders and other items that are still usable.
3. Hold a book or toy swap at your school.
4. Educate others about the issues surrounding garbage and what everyone can do to help.
5. Don't litter. Organize a litter cleanup in your neighbour to help recover items that can be reused and recycled.
