Environmental Awareness

Environmental Awareness

For PTA events, please use the guidelines below during the planning and execution phases.
Please reach out to the Environmental Awareness Committee with any questions.

Support D39 strategic goals related to Sustainability Practices by implementing environmentally sustainable practices for all PTO/A events.
1.    Use items that can be recycled/ composted or made from sustainable materials*

•       Use reusable items whenever possible
•       Avoid Styrofoam products
•       Plates, cups, bowls, etc should be compostable/recyclable (paper goods should state 100% compostable or 100% paper (with no waxy coating))
•       Use paper and card stock made of recycled content, if possible

2.    Procure environmentally responsible decorations, give-aways and other supplies*

•       Avoid or limit promotional or give-away items (select items that have a purpose and that are not single-use)
•       Minimize decorations and single-use packaging
•       Consider garnishes, centerpieces and decorations that can be donated, recycled, reused    or composted
•       Utilize reusable service items such as cloth napkins, tablecloths and bulk condiments
•       Purchase items that are sourced locally

3.    Provide recycling and composting services for events

•       Provide clear signage to all recycling and composting collection areas
•       Contact your Green Committee chair to answer any questions

* Whole Foods, Fresh Markets. On-line: http://onyxcompany.com (compostable), Costco, Office Depot, Eco-Products, Natural Value, Bridge-Gate, greenpartygoods.com, ecopartytime.com.
