Show us your school's Waste Climate Action Day

We want to know about your school's activities! Did you "Say No to Food Waste?" Host a clothing or supply swap? Plan lessons about diverting waste from landfills?

Fill out our submission form and show us how you took part. And if your school had a "Bring Your Own Reusable Water Bottle" Day, let us know how many students brought a bottle - we'll add it to our grand total!

Collective action: Bring Your Own Reusable Water Bottle

Is your school ready to reduce single-use plastic? All schools can encourage students to “BYO Water Bottle” as part of their Waste Climate Action Day.

We'll count how many single-use plastic bottles we reduced citywide! Plan to estimate how many students participate so we can add it to our grand total.
