Being Green

Being Green

Teaching Green | Being Green | Living Green

Being green entails maintaining a healthy school environment by finding ways to improve our efforts to conserve water and energy; reduce waste; restore and conserve natural habitat; create structures to respect and support the environment; and use transportation responsibly. Our goal is to ensure that environmental issues and concerns permeate decisions and choices made by all in our school community. Here we focus on the second objective of the Green Schools Application: Best Management Practices.
