1. Use reusable rags instead of paper towels

We use these for hand-washing and cleaning. We have two bins labeled clean and dirty. A rag is used once and then put into the dirty bin to be washed and used again.

After making many changes to lessen our school’s environmental footprint, we now create little to no trash each month. Involving the preschool families at the beginning of the school year helps tremendously in maintaining a low-waste, sustainable school.
