Master Plan
Think ahead and dream big when planning your school ground greening project.
Take the Pulse of Your School
A great way to deeply engage the whole school in your greening project is to conduct a survey or run a design contest. The results may surprise you and help shape what your greening project may look like.
Grassroots Fundraising
Fundraising can help projects get off the ground or enhance existing green spaces. Involve students at every stage of development.
Community-Powered Greening
Make your greening project a community affair by inviting members of the community to contribute their time and expertise.
Outdoor Classrooms
The outdoor classroom is an opportunity for classes to get outside in all weather.
One-Stop Waste Station
One-stop waste stations make it easy for students to sort their recycling, garbage, and organics into the right categories. Place waste, recycling, and green bins together in convenient areas of the school to cut down on contamination.
Waste-Free Lunch
Cutting back on food waste and packaging can have a big impact on the environment. Support and motivate weekly or daily waste-free and boomerang lunches by creating a fun reward system.
GOOS Bins
Save paper and save trees by having a GOOS paper (good on one side) bin in all classrooms, offices, and printer rooms in your school.
Reusable Dishware
Reduce waste at school by introducing reusable dishware for cafeteria meals and school events.
