Eco-Smart at Loving Start
Why Go Green?
Did you know… that a typical American school kid generates 67 pounds of discarded school lunch packaging waste per school year. That’s more than 18,000 pounds yearly for the average-sized elementary school?
Did you know… the two most obvious benefits of solar power, and what is so alluring about it, are the fact the sun shines every single day for free, and that solar power panels generate zero CO2 emissions.
Did you know? Organic food doesn’t contain food additives, which can cause health problems such as heart disease, osteoporosis, migraines and hyperactivity. Amongst the additives banned by the Soil Association are hydrogenated fat, aspartame (artificial sweetener) and monosodium glutamate.
So now we ask you Why not Go Green?
Loving Start Creative Learning Center is proud to be an Eco-Smart certified school. We meet the highest standards of a “Green” school.
