GREEN SCHOOLS FOR A BRIGHTER FUTURE
Every
child deserves a learning environment that’s safe, healthy, free of
harmful toxins and optimal for learning. Unfortunately, many schools
across the country are subjecting children to unhealthy classrooms with
poor lighting and inefficient energy usage, which costs most schools
more money than they spend on books and computers. When a school goes
green, children benefit – as well as the environment! Green schools
lead to:
- Improved student performance as much as 25%
- More funds for student resources when water and energy costs are reduced by as much as 40%. These funds are channeled back into resources that directly benefit students, such as textbooks, computers and other essentials.
- Reduced carbon footprint
