Make Your Back-to-School List Green by Using Environmental Products

This year’s back to school shopping list is an opportunity to do your part to save the environment by using green environmental products. Parents and students can fill backpacks with report covers, index cards, binders, compositions books, pens and pencils that are environmentally friendly. This year, most lists also include napkins, paper towels, tissues and cleaning products at the teacher’s request. By using green environmental products you’ll be doing your part to save the environment.

Help your students go green by using recycled environmental products for back to school. If you are diligent about protecting the environment, your children will learn these same green buying practices and continue the use of recycled environmental products. It is also important to make sure the products you purchase are truly “recycled”. Most recycled paper products contain very little post-consumer waste (PCW) paper, and are actually composed of wood chips and mill scraps. Only recycled paper made with PCW aids in fighting deforestation and reducing landfill waste.

Responsible choices can be made when purchasing other environmental products in a school including cups and food containers, trash bags, and cleaning supplies.

Fundraising Ideas Using T Shirts for Charity

T shirts can be used in many ways for fundraising efforts or charitable causes. Creating themed shirts for a participating team in a fundraiser is a wonderful use for t shirts for charity .Customized shirts can also make a statement that will be noticed to raise awareness about a chosen cause, or t shirts can be given away as game or raffle prizes. Portions of profits from the sale of t shirts can also be used to raise funds for foundations.

Participating in any event with wonderful charitable goals is always exciting and worthwhile, and compiling a team of participants is the backbone of these events. Making t shirts for a team with a team color, theme and name give cohesiveness to the group. The team name and perhaps the name of a person of honor for whom the team is participating are great things to print on the t shirt.

Customized, fun t shirts can be made at a reasonable cost, and then given away as prizes at a fair, benefit, or any fundraising event.T shirts can have made-to-order logos, graphics, or comments: humorous, bold or enlightening, to add excitement to an event as a fun giveaway. The enthusiasm generated by the free gift will energize an event to encourage a successful result.

Imagine how many times a message on a t shirt is read! People notice what is written on other’s t shirts, and they make a bold statement and make an impact.That message; perhaps promoting a cause, company, school, or concept; potentially could be read by countless eyes. What a great way to use t shirts for charity to raise awareness for fundraising efforts.
