SNOW HILL MIDDLE SCHOOL

🌍 Go Green for Earth Day! 🌱 In honor of Earth Day on Tuesday, April 22, the Snow Hill Middle School Student Government Association invites all staff to take part in a school-wide use less day! We are making an effort to Reduce, Reuse and Recycle🌳 While going digital sounds green, the reality is more complex. Digital tools require electricity (often from non-renewable sources), and devices have their own carbon and resource footprints. ⚡💻🗑 Using less where needed is a good strategy💚Remember paper is one of the most renewable materials on Earth! 📝 🌲 Paper comes from trees grown in working forests—many of which exist because there's a market for wood products. No demand = no trees. ♻️ Paper is one of the most recycled materials. 💚😎❤️ThankYou MarylandForestAssociation for your help and facts. 💚😎❤️ 🌿 Healthy forests managed for wood products store carbon, protect biodiversity and support local jobs and economies. 🌱 Remember plant a tree 🌳, remove invasive species 🐛, or go outside and enjoy nature! ☀️ Use less when and where you can🍃 Let’s lead by example and show our students how small choices add up to big change. 💚 Thank you for supporting this meaningful initiative. – SHMS SGA 💪🌿 #EarthDay #ReduceReuseRecycle #SHMSGreen #SustainableChoices #PaperWithPurpose #EarthDayEveryDay #MindfulMonday #SHMSStrong
