Best School Fundraising Idea!

Fun and school spirit is at the heart of a school community, but let’s face it: spirit alone can’t buy new uniforms for sports teams or add books to the library. That spirit can be put to good use, however, with fundraising activities! Fundraising staples like carnivals and car washes can be a lot of fun, but why not do something that’s good for the environment as well? Here is a great idea for fundraising gone green.

Reusable Bag Fundraisers!

Reusable Bags: Paper or plastic? It’s not as easy a choice as it sounds: both of them make a massive impact on the environment, building up in landfills and running off into parks and oceans, harming wildlife and causing pollution problems that can last for centuries to come. You can take a stand against this problem by the very simple act of bringing a reusable shopping bag to the grocery store. Reusing the same bags cuts down on waste drastically, and showing up prepared with your own cloth or polypropylene bags makes a huge statement about your dedication to the planet. Why not encourage others to do the same? By selling reusable bags at your next school fundraiser, you can do exactly that. Manufacturers like ReuseThisBag are happy to print your logo of choice on the side, so you can even show off some school spirit while you’re picking up the groceries.

As the various seasons approache, it can be tempting to resort to the same old gift-wrap and cookie dough catalogs. But with the pollution and waste brought on by those catalogs – and the surplus of cheap gifts you end up feeling pressured to sell and buy – is it worth it? This year, try making a change with a school fundraiser that gives back to Planet Earth.
