- Student Green Team members created posters and fliers to publicize Green Week.
- Tips about recycling were shared on the school’s daily news broadcast.
- Student Green Team members created a video about recycling which was played during lunch in the cafeteria.

- Student Green Team and student leadership members received t-shirts with a recycling logo created by the team.
- To reduce unwanted mail in the office, staff set up a box for unwanted mail and asked to be removed from these mailing lists.
