Introducing a New Theme!
This Summer, our newsletter kicks off with a new “Conservation Corner”, which will focus on what each of us can do in our homes and in the community to help the environment. Also, we are keeping the “Students’ Corner”, which has successfully become a forum for our students to voice their opinions on relevant topics. Earth Day is celebrated once a year in April. However, through our conservation efforts, we can celebrate our earth every day. Likewise, we can celebrate our students and talk about their efforts and accomplishments throughout the year!

Maria Santos Zavala: “Things I do to help the environment? I use reusable bags, I recycle simple things, I save electricity and water, and I make sure my waste goes to the right place.”
Marisol Martinez Aquino: I’m helping the environment by not cutting down trees and planting more, by separating the plastic and paper waste, and by saving water when taking a shower or brushing my teeth.”

CONSERVATION CORNER: Protecting our Planet!
|
|
|
|
We are presenting ways to make simple choices for a healthier planet. Conservation efforts will be illustrated in each newsletter, beginning with plastics. Here are 3 ways we can begin to help protect our planet by reducing the use of plastic in our everyday life.
|
|
-
Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle: Follow these three “Rs” to conserve natural resources and landfill space. Reduce your use of plastic items. Use glass containers and recycle items that can be recycled. Many plastic items are not biodegradable (do not break down in landfills). They will continue to cause harm for thousands of years into the future.
-
Shop wisely: Buy fewer products made with plastics or products with plastic containers. Bring a reusable cloth shopping bag instead of using plastic bags.
-
Educate: When we further our individual education, we can help others understand the importance of conservation and our natural resources. Volunteer for cleaning up the neighborhood in your community. Every little bit helps the planet. For information on plastic pollution.
