LaSalle Language Academy Zero-Waste Efforts

Seminary Properties and Management, Ltd., is a family-owned provider of various property management services throughout Chicago’s Northside, including the Lakeview and Lincoln Park communities. Involved with the entire Northside community, Seminary Properties and Management, Ltd., supports organizations such as LaSalle Language Academy.

Students and staff members of LaSalle Language Academy were recently recognized for their successful and comprehensive food waste and composting initiatives. Students at the school learn about composting in the academic curriculum, which encourages individual students to reduce waste at LaSalle and take an active role in the fight against climate change.

The academy is one of several Chicago-area schools to launch effective environmental learning programs, with LaSalle’s lunchroom waste decreasing by 50 percent since the inception of the program in 2019. Specific elements of the LaSalle Language Academy zero-waste program include food recovery, liquid diversion, and general recycling practices. More information about these and related efforts is available from Seven Generations Ahead (SGA) Zero Waste at sevengenerationsahead.org.
