Green back-to-school tips.

Well, labor day is upon us, and with that, back-to-school time! Here are some tips to help green your back-to-school experience:

Check out Amanda's list of sneaky sources of PVC affecting students.
While we're talking PVC, remember to go for a PVC-free lunchbox and backpack.
To help identify PVC, look for a V, PVC or #3 on the label.
If you send hand sanitizer to school, make sure it's free of triclosan.
Try not to idle while waiting on the dropoff and pickup lines. If you're going to be idling for more than 30 seconds, it's better to turn the car off.
Check out this advice on what to do with those back-to-school supply lists from teachers.

Have a great back-to-school!
