According to Ms. Martha Friend, a Littlebrook science teacher who has advanced and promoted the elementary school’s sustainability initiatives, "students will voluntarily monitor trash, recycling, and compost bins in the cafeteria to prevent contamination." 

When gift-giving, consider sustainable ideas. Here’s a round-up for dads and grads.

Look for our Resource Recovery Tent every other Thursday through November 15, 2018, at the Princeton Farmers Market. In addition to collecting organic waster and recycling, we will also collect a number of resources that can be upcycled. BYO reusable water bottle and use our refill station!

At Sustainable Princeton, we are committed to the motto, Change a Habit, Change the World. This year, great strides were made to make Communiversity a more sustainable event. We look forward to building on this progress in 2019 through partnership with leadership of the Arts Council of Princeton and Communiversity ArtsFest event coordinators.

Many of our daily activities such as using electricity, driving a car, and disposing of waste create greenhouse gas emissions and contribute to climate change. The first step towards determining how to reduce our emissions is to create an inventory. Join us as we share the results of Princeton's inventory and discuss actions that can reduce our impact.

This summer, be sure to stop by and visit the new Energy Parklet in front of Jazams. Windmills, solar panels, water turbines and bikes are all in action, providing energy to the parklet and fun for the family. So drop by and play a bit! Even better show up at 2pm every Saturday in July when Sustainable Princeton will have volunteers stationed to tell you more about renewable energy and answer your questions.
