Current Projects
We’re launching Redwood Shores’ first Bike Bus - a fun and eco-friendly adult-led bicycle caravan designed to safely bring students to school. Scooters, skateboards, and roller skates are welcome too! Sign up today to be part of a movement that creates safer streets, stronger communities, and a healthier planet.
We are currenty focused on these three initiatives aimed at improving environmentally sustainable practives at all seven schools in the Belmont Redwood Shores School District.
Composting and recycling
Thanks to California's Universal Meals Program, all public school children are guarenteed free breakfast and lunch each school day, regardless of their income. Our composting and waste reduction program diverts excess fresh food from the school to people in need in the community, and helps children sort their food waste at the schools.
Clean energy
BRSSD spends over $600K every year on electricity and heating. Our Clean Energy initiative seeks to replace aging school infastructure with clean energy alternatives.
REducing Single Use Plastics
We work with the school food vendors and BRSSD to suggest alternatives to single-use plastics. Our goal is to ensure that each school has the appropriate kitchen enhancements to offer reusable utensils and utilize more sustainable packaging with their food.
