Pleasantside elementary school in Port Moody wants to have a green outdoor classroom and is hoping a toilet-paper company with green credentials will help them achieve their goal.
Pleasantside is one of 10 finalists in the running for a $10,000 grant to create an outdoor classroom offered by Majesta, a company that manufactures soft paper products made from trees grown in forests certified by The Sustainability Forest Initiative.
The winning school will be decided by a public vote at www.majesta.com running from March 29 to Ma 11.
Participants in the voting will also have an opportunity to win a $10,000 cash prize.
If it wins, Pleasantside would use the classroom to provide students with the opportunity to study the life cycle of trees while learning about the importance of forests, social responsibility and sustaining and protecting the environment.
