Crayon Collection
Billions of crayons ends up in landfills & can take years – even decades- to decompose. Meanwhile, U.S. teachers in underfunded public schools are spending an average of $750 of their own income per year on supplies for their classrooms. Many of us dine at restaurants where we receive little packets of crayons. You can help by creating a collection box at your school and getting everyone involved. Teach kids about reducing waste and philanthropy in one action. Focuses on using the collection and reallocation of crayons to create a social shift from a culture of international wastefulness to a mindful culture within communities that is supportive of teachers and students, art education and the environment.
