Wasted School Supplies

Finally school is out! Summer is here! Woot, woot!
Last week I had the urge to clean all of my binders and folders. I had saved all of my work throughout the year (just in case), and complied a huge pile of paper in the corner of my room. As I dumped the rest of my papers on the pile I realized I could make a blog out of how much paper we get and use in school.

The sad part of it is, about half of the paper I got I didn’t even look at after it got passed around the room in school because it didn’t really help me learn or study. But of course I recycled everything I could. The folders and the binders that are trashed of still sitting in my room, maybe I’ll try to doctor them up for more use…?

For next year I’m going to try to get school supplies that are recycled or will be able to be recycled after use (binders). Here is a site to check out some of the products out there, that was just the first site that came up when I googled.
