Go Green tips for November 22nd

Here Sarah's groovy green tips for Monday, November 22nd:

• Back to shopping, my favorite subject! For your holiday wear, this year, why not look into one of the fabulous resale shops we have in the area? The dressier the garment, the less it’s been worn: that equals nearly new!
• Reuse tip from an anonymous listener: save the wax packaging your cereal comes wrapped in. You can use it to bake with over the holidays or even package up a sandwich for lunch!

This morning as I sat down at my work computer, the first email that caught my eye was from my son’s school, Mary Hogan Elementary, here, in Middlebury. I love my son’s school, especially the professionals who are lucky enough to work with him, he is equally as lucky, by the way. They get him and therefore, he gets away with nothing! However, when I got the email this morning, it was a general email addressing all the parents about a special meeting taking place tonight. I’d love to receive more notices from my son’s school in this way. I loath the stacks of missives addressed to “parents” that often clog up Mike’s take home folder. Not due to his teacher or his aide, but that’s the way school administrators have always communicated with their parents. Nowadays, with everyone on email, it’s too bad they can’t try to enact a system where a parent can opt out of take home paperwork if they’re willing to hand out their email address. Less paper wasted, more resources saved. How do you feel about this? Feel free to email me at sarah@921wvtk.com or comment on the Go Green Ride at Five blog on 921wvtk.com. My soap box is never warm for long on the Go Green Ride at Five on 92.1 WVTK!
