subject: Paul Mitchell Schools Go Green! [print this page] Reduce, reuse, recycle! The brainchild of John Paul Mitchell Systems President Luke Jacobellis, the Green Team brings all divisions of John Paul Mitchell Systems together to help the planet. Every two weeks, representatives from Paul Mitchell Schools, John Paul Mitchell Systems, and the field brainstorm new opportunities to change actions and mind-setssetting standards from small actions to take in the office to larger strategic initiatives.
Paul Mitchell Schools are developing student-run Green Teams of their own. These bold, unstoppable change makers are turning their schools, communities, and the world into a cleaner, better place by implementing recycling programs on their campuses. Heres how theyre doing it (and you can do it, too)!
Steps to Recycling in Your School, Salon, or Spa
1. Find the best areas in your business for recycling bins. Different areas will require different types of bins.
2. Types of bins you may need:
* Glass bins
* Garbage bins
* Plastic bins: Place a bin in your dispensary or Color Bar for plastic bottles. (Rinse all bottles before recycling.)
* Paper bins: Which parts of your business use paper? (Example: offices.) Find an area in those rooms and place reusable and recyclable paper bins there.
* Hair bins: To recycle the hair that gets cut throughout the day, place recycling bins on your clinic floor and send the hair to an organization that recycles it (such as Matters of Trust).
3. Find local recycling centers that will refund for recyclables. If your business is a school, the money should be put back into student-run programs and school activities.
4. Create a 30-day action plan/calendar with specific assignments and deadlines for implementing recycling in your organization.
* The foils used in highlights can be recycled in some cities. Contact your local garbage or recycling collection company for more information.
* Every ton of paper costs 17 trees, 7,000 gallons of water, and 60 pounds of air pollution. Please consider the environment before printing your e-mails.
