30.  GREEN STAR SCHOOLS:  Launched in 2005  Boulder County and Broomfield County schools are the first in the nation to move towards Zero Waste by addressing every aspect of each school’s waste stream.  Large scale composting of food waste and non-recyclable paper from the kitchen, cafeteria, classrooms, offices and bathrooms (paper towels) has cut participating schools’ trash by one third.  Another third is diverted by the recycling program. www.ecocycle.org/atschool/school_info.cfm

31.  A Waste-Free Lunch campaign  Extensive and ongoing training for staff and students is integral to the program.  Currently, 17 schools are part of the program and more will be added each year. www.ecocycle.org/atschool/school_info.cfm
