NMS Green Schools

The Green School Committee at NMS is dedicated to advancing environmental education and fostering awareness throughout the school year. We achieve this through a combination of curriculum enrichment and engaging PTA activities. Among our initiatives is the annual refreshment program in the cafeteria, encouraging both students and staff to properly dispose of food waste.

Additionally, the Green School Committee organizes and supports environmentally friendly community activities such as Walk & Bike to School Day, textile drives, and beautification projects around our campus.

In line with our commitment to environmental sustainability, we want to highlight valuable town resources available to residents.

The Holly Hill Resource Recovery Center, commonly known as 'The Greenwich Dump,' offers a range of recycling options. Apply for a Holly Hill permit today and contribute to waste reduction by recycling items like books, food scraps, yard waste, electronics, and more.

The Greenwich Public Works Waste Wizard Tool is another useful resource. Wondering which items can be recycled, or where to donate unwanted items? Use the Waste Wizard tool to explore proper disposal options for various items in the Town of Greenwich. Click here for more information.

Here are some additional suggestions and resources to promote eco-friendly practices:

1. Meatless Monday: Consider having one day a week dedicated to plant-based meals for the whole family.

2. Join Waste Free Greenwich's Mailing List: Stay informed about ways you can make a difference at home and in our community.

3. NMS Green Team Volunteers: If you're interested in contributing to our efforts, contact our Green Schools Committee for more information. We welcome all volunteers, and no prior experience is necessary.

Let's work together to create a more sustainable and environmentally conscious community!
