NEST+m, our new partner school, wins a 2016 Super Recyclers - Golden Apple Award!

A huge congratulations to our new partner school, NEST+m, for winning a 2016 Super Recyclers - Golden Apple Award! We are very proud of NEST+m's collaborative efforts on working towards a zero waste school.  In January 2016, this K-12 NYC Department of Education school reduced their daily cafeteria garbage from 350 pounds (30 bags) to less than 9 pounds (2 bags) per day by implementing our Cafeteria Ranger Program. Students learned the why and the how of sorting and waste reduction and took on daily leadership roles in the cafeteria. 

​Ms. Wilen's 3rd grade class also took on dedicated advocacy and action leadership roles, not only to reduce school garbage but, to reduce local land-based ‪plastic litter that becomes global ocean pollution. 

Thank you to the NEST+m PTA for generously supporting Cafeteria Culture's Arts+Action Zero Waste Schools program at NEST+m!"New Explorations into Science Technology and Math (NEST+m) is unique because it is the only K - 12 public school located in Manhattan. NEST + m collaborated with Cafeteria Culture to jump start its recycling program with the K-5 students as leaders. The strength of this program is that it teaches the whys and hows of recycling and that the K-5 students are very enthusiastic participants."
