Back to School Tips

It is time for the kids to say goodbye to lazy days at the pool, and prepare for back to school!
Just a couple of tips for preparations:
(1) School Shopping: Re-use anything you have in your house to save time, money and resources. We all have pencils in every "junk" drawer... don't buy what you already have! When it is time to buy new, though, The Ideal Bite has some great tips on eco-friendly school supplies. And for waste-free lunches, try the great selection at reusablebags.com
(2) Green Space: Does your school need a free garden? Apply at the The Children's Nature Institute for a grant!
(3) Biking and Walking: For those of you that saw my new year's eve entry in January, you know that I got the kids to school on their bikes 50% of the time last year. This year I am moving my goal to 75% of the time. This means I will be rolling to the school in gloves and hats as soon as December arrives, so wish me luck! Join me in walking and biking to school when possible.
Add your own tips in the comments section. Wishing everyone a wonderful school year!
