Planet Manhasset's Second Annual Go-Green Week
Monday, April 11 - Friday, April 15 Wednesday, April 13.
Water Bottle Recycling Rally
This year's theme, "Re-think the Bottle", is designed to raise awareness about the impact that bottled water has on our environment. A "Water Bottle Recycling Rally" will be held where students will be asked to bring in empty plastic water bottles. Collection bins will be set up at each school and monies raised from the collected bottle deposits will be used to fund future SCA projects. Learn more by watching "The Story of Bottled Water", a short video illuminating the origins and quality of bottled water and its impact on our environment.
