5 Spots Left for Schools to Join the 6th Annual Trash Free Lunch Challenge!

Environmental Education nonprofit Grades of Green is recruiting for its 6th Annual Trash Free Lunch Challenge to inspire students and school communities to be trash-free, care for the environment AND divert lunchtime trash! Elementary and middle schools located in the greater Los Angeles area are invited to enter the Challenge – and just 5 spots are left!

By registering your school to participate in this free program, students learn new waste free habits they will carry with them for a lifetime, such as how to reduce, reuse and recycle. Schools across your district have competed in the Challenge in previous years -- and accomplished some great feats like:

- Inspiring student bodies of over 500+ students to care for the environment

- Diverting 75% of school lunchtime waste

- Saving thousands of dollars on waste hauler pick-ups for their schools

- Creating a community-wide environmental movement

If you're interested in being one of only 25 schools selected to compete in Grades of Green's 2016-2017 Trash Free Lunch Challenge, please email us at info@gradesofgreen.org or call us at 310-607-0175 to learn more about the program and to reserve your spot today! By participating in this free program, your school will receive a personal Grades of Green Advisor, an eco-starter kit worth $1,000 in prizes, and a chance to compete for a $1,000 science grant. To ensure your efforts in the Challenge will be sustainable at your school for years to come, Grades of Green also offers year-after-year guidance and will provide a follow-up assembly to your school for the 2017-2018 school year!
