PLASTIC FREE COMMUNITY EVENTS

School students, teachers, and parents makeup a large percent of the community. We hope the school community will take the learned, eco-friendly practices outside of the school to help minimize the single use plastics in events organized by the community. This can be anywhere from national events to a party or function organized by individuals or a group. Wherever the school can take part it should play a role in bringing awareness to the overconsumption of plastic items do its part in making these events plastic free — from plastic decorations to the event services. 

 
 

HOW

  • Use coolers for water and drinks, and serving trays for food

  • Serve fruits and homemade items instead of individually wrapped snacks

  • Use paper, cloth or natural material decorations

  • If the event is using any single use plastic, set up an interception point at the event

 

MEASURE

  • Written document to parents and students communicating measures that the school will take in the event

  • Photos of the event

  • Statistics of any interception done
