Reduce Reuse Recycle Repurpose

Stop! Wait a minute! Before you reduce your school office, area or classroom inventory of supplies and equipment by throwing something in the trash, ask yourself...

Can I recycle this?

Can I re-use it next school year?

Can this be re-purposed?

Educators are some of the most resourceful people I know and have been ahead of the Etsy trend for years. Pinterest and other websites are full of clever and crafty ideas. If your staff lounge doesn't have a corner or table designated for "sharing" yet, think about setting one up. At the Education Services Center there is a table on the lower level for staff freebies. Whether it be desk supplies, wall decor or just random office items needing a new home, you never know what treasure you will find there. It's in the back corner of the staff break room if you want to check it out next time you are over at the ESC. And remember the four R's: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, and Repurpose.
