Join Ricoh USA in brightening the lives of others in October by making a commitment to choosing an ENERGY STAR certified LED bulb! In light of your commitment, Ricoh is providing free environmental awareness to schools across the country starting in October. Ricoh’s Classroom Guide brings the important sustainability topic of recycling to elementary school students – while driving conservation education and awareness for parents too. The Classroom Guide contains 30-minute lessons with accompanying facts and activities, helping teachers and after school program facilitators present “reduce, reuse, recycle” concepts and use them as a springboard for conversations about saving energy. Take-home sheets help students talk to their parents about conservation, including how taking the ENERGY STAR pledge at home can make a positive impact on the environment. The Classroom Guide can help integrate conservation into an elementary curriculum, or it can be at the ready for substitute teachers to use at any time. Make your commitment here.
