Green Star Schools: Zero Waste Certification Program for Private Schools
Eco-Cycle will help private schools customize their Zero Waste efforts to reflect school culture and projects already in place. Recertification involves school documentation of Zero Waste practices and an Eco-Cycle audit of the facility.
Schools certified for 2011-2012We would like to congratulate Lyons Community Montessori and Shining Mountain Waldorf School in Boulder for becoming our first certified, private Green Star Schools in the fall of 2011. Lyons Community Montessori
"The key thing I have noticed about this new (Green Star Schools) program is that we are only using two trash cans as opposed to three and a half or four! If we can keep this up, I can reduce my trash cost down to two cans!"
- Laurie Kennedy, Director of Lyons Commmunity Montessori
Shining Mountain Waldorf School
"Thank you, Eco-Cycle! We couldn't have asked for a better partner in our quest to reduce our school's waste stream and eventually be Zero Waste (or darn close!). Nancy 's and Eco -Cycle's great technical and educational support have already taken us to the next level, and we look forward to years of great collaboration to come."
--Pete Chandler, Shining Mountain Waldorf School Sustainability Coordinator
