COMMUNICATIONS MATERIAL

One way we can get students and school staff to reduce waste is by communicating with them on ways to take action and reminding them specifically what goes into the recycling, organics, and garbage (landfill) bins on campus. We can do this through signage and stickers. Check out our collection of posters, signs, and stickers available to you by emailing us at sustainability@smcgov.org.
