Our recent initiatives:
- GN School Connections petitioned the Newton School Committee about the need to improve recycling in Newton’s schools, and the committee adopted a new school recycling policy in the spring of 2019.
- Our advocacy was instrumental in getting the city to consider environmental practices and waste reduction in schools with the selection of a new food service vendor, Whitsons.
- Representatives of GN School Connections will participate in discussions with the City to improve food quality and sustainability in school cafeterias.
- GN School Connections worked with city leaders to submit a state grant application to support the expansion of the school recycling program. We are also advocating for the city’s approval to set up textile recycling collection containers outside of each school building.
