Ringing in the New School Year in Kuwait

The melodic tune of school bells signals the return of the academic year (Back to School 2024) in Kuwait. As parents, teachers and students gear up for a fresh start, it is easy to feel overwhelmed by the flurry of activity. Here at Eco by Meshoo, a company dedicated to providing eco-friendly baby and children's products, we understand the challenges that come with this exciting transition.

For our Supermoms:

• Planning is Key: Create a shopping list focusing on reusable items like water bottles, lunch boxes and cloth napkins. This not only reduces waste but also saves money in the long run.
• Embrace Eco-Friendly Lunches: Ditch the disposable plastic and pack delicious, healthy meals in reusable containers. Invest in fun, leak-proof lunchboxes that your kids will love.
• Sustainable School Supplies: Opt for recycled paper notebooks, pencils made from recycled wood and eco-friendly crayons. Encourage your children to reuse old folders and binders whenever possible.

For the Dedicated Teachers:

• Inspire Green Habits: Integrate eco-friendly practices into your classroom routine. Encourage students to turn off lights when not in use, collect paper waste for recycling projects and organise a classroom composting bin for food scraps.
• Reusable Art Supplies: Stock up on washable markers, crayons and paints. This not only minimises waste but also saves time and money on constant replacements.
• Get Crafty with Recycled Materials: Turn old magazines, cardboard boxes and plastic bottles into creative art projects. This promotes environmental awareness while encouraging artistic expression.

For our Awesome Students:

• Be an Eco-Warrior: Take the initiative to reduce your own waste footprint. Pack reusable water bottles and lunchboxes and remind your classmates to do the same.
• Embrace the Power of Reuse: Give new life to old clothes and school supplies. Organise a clothing swap with friends or donate gently used items to those in need.
• Spread the Word: Share your new-found eco-friendly habits with your family and friends. Together, you can make a big difference.

At Eco by Meshoo, we believe that a healthy planet fosters a healthy learning environment. By incorporating these simple tips, we can all contribute to a more sustainable school year in Kuwait. Let's work together to make this academic year a success, one eco-friendly step at a time.
