New City School 2017-18 Green Schools Quest

March 11, 2018

We want to look at ways to change and improve our composting program and look into strategies for the reduce and reuse before recycling. Anything that cuts down on material going to landfill while having less recycling will be examined. The hope is that a few classes might each take on a different project to meet the overall project goal.
Our school will be a good role model for families to follow to make sure our landfills last longer. We also hope to cut down on recycling by reducing and re-using more products. This could save the school money and cut down on our carbon footprint.

Intended impact of project

Reduced environmental impact
