Please note that IXG Green Packs are delivered unassembled, following is the suggested way to hand out IXG Green Packs to your students and staff.

IXG Green Pack Distribution Process
Please designate a place for IXG Green Packs to be assembled by the students and staff. We recommend that only a few classes assemble their IXG Green Packs at one time, with students filing in a single line. Place the t-shirts in stacks by youth and adult sizes on a table. The rest of the items can be left in the boxes they arrived in. Start with the reusable bags on the left, t-shirts next, water bottles then containers.

Please note that snack containers come pre-packed in sets of five. They need to be unpackaged in order for the students to select one of each. Students can easily do this with the supervision of an adult.

Each student will first select a reusable bag, and then fill it with: (1) water bottle, (2) snack containers (1 small & 1 large) and (1) National Green Week t-shirt in their size . They are now ready for Waste-Free Snacks during National Green Week 2010!

National Green Week 2010 is meant to launch environmental educational activities, exercises and eco-challenge programs to be utilized during this week and for the remainder of the school year. In order to maximize waste reduction at schools across the nation we are urging schools to participate in the Waste-Free Snacks program (if appropriate for your school, we understand that many schools extend free snacks in which case this would not apply. However, GEF strongly encourages the teachers and administrators to partake in environmental learning and other GEF programs.
