New Year's Resolution:  Be Green! 

It is 2010 and I'm sure we have all decided to work toward being more "GREEN" as a New Year Resolution.  Purchasing a ReUsie for your child's lunch bag not only helps to eliminate plastic in our environment but also supports our Montlake Greenhouse.

 

Such a deal.........and all for less than $10.00 !!

 

All you need to do is...
  • Download order form here.
  • Make check out to Montlake PTA.
  • Drop off in the Montlake office: Greenhouse folder.
  • ReUsies will be dropped off in classrooms.

It is estimated that
500 billion – one trillion plastic bags are used worldwide each and every year.  In a typical school or work lunch, 3 or 4 plastic baggies are used every day.  That equals upwards to 1,000 plastic baggies per person, per year!  That is a lot of plastic bags that will be here long after we are gone!  An alternative to plastic bags are Re-Usies.   A fabric reusable bag that can be used and washed and reused again! 


To learn more, download flyer or visit the Re-Usies website.

Thank you for being Green!
