Get involved in the Green Santa Schools Challenge
Green Santa will tour York and North Yorkshire's schools during January 2010 as part of the Choose2Reuse Campaign. He will encourage school children, parents and teachers to reuse items instead of sending them to landfill in the Green Santa Schools Challenge.
Schools across York and North Yorkshire will be competing head to head to reuse as many reusable items as they can by donating to charity shops and reuse organisations participating in the challenge.
By donating toys, books, music, clothes, furniture and other household items children, parents and teachers will collect challenge tokens from participating Charity Shops and Reuse Organisations. The schools with the most tokens will win the challenge. The Choose2Reuse Green Santa Schools Challenge will commence on 18 January, 2010 and run until the 26 February, 2010.
