To help you prepare, we’ll be taking orders for GoGreen Lunchboxes. Select your preference from the website: www.gogreenlunchbox.com and then email your order to Deidre Abrons at: deidre@kindbirth.com. Deadline for orders is August 5th. You can pay for them upon pickup after August 16th, from Cass Caulfield, 536 Midcrest Rd, right across from the school.

By pre-ordering this way, you save taxes and raise $5/lunchbox for the PTA. We may be able to waive the shipping charges, but if not, we’ll be splitting the bulk shipment evenly among the orders and anticipate the cost to be $3-$5…a savings over the standard shipping charge (approximately $10). This is a win-win for the earth, you and the students!

How a no waste lunch impacts global warming Energy Savings: Pack a No Waste Lunch all year and reduce waste by 67lbs/child = 133 lbs of Carbon dioxide emissions. Less waste means less landfill and a reduction in greenhouse gases! Waste-free lunches are not only a wise environmental choice, but they are less expensive as well.

Goal: Zero Waste!
