Welcome to Trash Talk Tuesday! It’s that time of year again where the scent of crayons and copy paper fills the stores as the back-to-school shoppers crowd the aisles! There is something truly lovely about starting the new year with a brand new No. 2 pencil, a trendy backpack, or supplies to donate to your favorite teacher. What’s not cool is the mounds and mounds of single-use products and packaging taking up the shelves and heavily marketed to busy parents and teachers who are just doing their best. What’s a sustainable student to do?
