Use found materials for decorations. Back your bulletin boards with newspaper, cardboard or magazines. Create borders using plastic bottles, cans, etc.
Repurpose food containers for storage (plastic yogurt containers, cereal boxes, etc).
Incorporate lots of plants.
Have your students use leftover drinking water to water said plants.

I love this idea! I like to be "green" as much as I can! I will definitely be remembering this idea for when I have my classroom.
