January Eco Theme: --Good On One Side (GOOS) Paper

Pine Grove has a “GOOS” paper system in place at the school and encourages families to create a “GOOS” bin in our homes.  A “GOOS” bin is a bin which holds misprint paper or sheets with printing only on one side which can be used as scratch pads for notes, messages, rough work, and doodle pads. In the school, the bins have been strategically placed in classrooms and various locations within the building where paper is often used.  This system helps our staff and students to reduce and reuse paper first, before recycling. The Eco team encourages everyone to place “GOOS” bins of various sizes in our classrooms, study rooms, offices, by our home phone, even in our kitchens. You will be amazed as to how often this “GOOS” paper will come to good use.
