Green Schools Program

Green Schools Program 2014-2015
In Partnership with Domtar

SUSTAINABILITY IN THE CLASSROOM.
IMPACT FOR THE COMMUNITY.
Our innovative Green Schools Program encourages students to make a difference in their communities. Promoting environmental education,
innovation and creative solutions, this program is designed to put great ideas into action.

HOW IT WORKS
Schools located in Recyclebank home recycling communities are eligible to submit an application that creates, continues or expands sustainable
practices. We select the top 50 proposals and give those accepted schools the opportunity to raise up to $2,500 for their projects. In addition to
receiving a budget up to $2,500 a Grand Prize Winner will receive a year supply of paper from Domtar. Schools are also eligible to win a Domtar paper prize if they’re chosen as most innovative in these categories: Recycling and Waste Reduction, Garden and Water, Art and Sculpture, and Sustainable and Creative Paper Usage.

Accepted proposals will be placed on our site, where members can donate their Recyclebank points online. For every 250 points donated to a school’s project, we will grant $1.*

We encourage students and teachers to spread the word to their friends and family. Donated Recyclebank points can come from anywhere, so
schools can reach out to members outside of their own communities for help making their goals a reality
