April is Earth Month, a time to remind ourselves how much we depend on our planet and why it’s so important to protect it. Evergreen PTSA wants to encourage your family to think about opportunities how you and your family can help. Earth’s resources—clean water, fresh air, fertile soil—are limited, and it’s up to all of us to take care of them for the people and wildlife that call this planet home.
Plastic Free Lunch Day is an inspiring initiative that encourages us to rethink our daily habits and reduce our reliance on plastic. This day is dedicated to fostering awareness about the impact of plastic waste on our environment and promoting sustainable alternatives.
EMS PTSA is facilitating a Plastic Free Lunch Day during the week of April 28th.
