How it Works
Green Lockers Vision from Ben Sanders on Vimeo.
When students clean out their lockers (or even dorm rooms) at the end of the school year, we provide alternative containers for them to discard their new and slightly-used school supplies, books and clothes. The student organization then collects all of the materials and sorts through them. We then pick them up, and proceed to distribute them locally, nationally, and internationally – to children/students in need.

Why it works – the top 10?
- There is no extra pull on a school’s resources – financially or staff-wise.
- Adults and children alike naturally want to help others, if it is at little cost to them.
- It could help supplicate local school resources – especially in the inner-city.
- It is easy for the student body to understand, and takes little to no extra effort on their part.
- Participating in this project is not a risk to the student’s peer status.
- Students are more likely to contribute when they see fellow students (NHS, 5-star, student council, etc…) leading the charge.
- It provides an opportunity for the younger generation to contribute to society. . . on their own!
- The project itself is NOT a long, drawn out process. . . instead, results are seen very quickly.
- Your school can “go green” by saving thousands of pounds from the landfill!
- This is our 7th year – and that experience allows us to tailor the project to each school.
