North Bay Corporation promotes waste reduction and recycling at school because we know that youth represents our future and will make the difference in caring for the environment. We want the Earth to be a healthy place for future generations. Take the pledge and receive a cool bookmark to remind you of your commitment to the planet. Remember, just one simple change from many of us makes a big difference!


Getting to School Walking, skateboarding, or riding your bike to school helps keep the air clean and gets your blood pumping. It’s cool to ride the bus because one vehicle on the road is better than lots of cars. Set up a carpool with your friends.
Attend a beach, river, or park cleanup Take a mini-trip with friends out to the beach, river, or a park. You can sign up with coordinated clean-ups or do your own. Have a contest of who can pick up the most stuff.
Be a label detective Look for products made of recycled materials including paper, clothes, toys and even packaging. Close the recycling loop by purchasing things that are made out of what you recycle!
Take a field trip Follow the path of the materials you put in your recycling, yard waste, and trash cans. You can visit our recycling facility to see how recyclables get sorted, take a trip to the landfill, or visit Sonoma Compost to see how yard and food waste break down. What does it mean to throw things "away"?
Use rechargeable batteries For all those cool electronics, buy batteries (and other items) that can be used over and over instead of getting new batteries every time.
Customize with Reuse Fashion cool school supplies out of things that would have been thrown away or recycled. Find creative ways to cover your books using cereal boxes or comics. Be cool and bring a lunch box.
